About Our Stupa
The Traditional Kadampa Buddhist Stupa is a stunning sculpture made of pure copper and gilded with dazzling gold. This stupa is both a physical and spiritual miracle, standing at 34.5 cm tall, 14.5 cm wide, and weighing 2.30 kg. The glittering gold finish emphasizes its heavenly essence, representing purity, enlightenment, and the timeless character of Buddha's teachings. It is revered for its spiritual significance and serves as the focal point of Buddhist meditation, ceremonies, and devotion, symbolizing the profound principles of wisdom and compassion.
The stupa's design is a perfect balance of intricate iconography and profound spiritual significance. The Kadampa style, known for its simplicity and elegance, honors the early Buddhist monastic traditions. At the center of the stupa is a symbolic image of the Buddha's enlightened mind. The wonderful dome depicts the universe, while the circle base symbolizes the earth, providing stability and anchoring. The tower, ornamented with 13 steps, represents the gradual stages of enlightenment and is capped by a lotus blossom top, which represent ultimate unification and release.
This stupa is a spiritual beacon, revered for bestowing blessings, protection, and peace. It is thought to produce positive energy, transforming any location into a holy place of mindfulness and compassion. Whether put on a sacred altar or used as a meditative aid, this stupa reflects the Buddha's eternal teachings, leading practitioners on their spiritual journey to inner awakening and world harmony.
Introduction To Stupa :
Before Buddhism, great teachers were buried in mounds. Some were cremated but sometimes buried in a seated, meditative position. The mound of earth covered them up. Thus, the domed shape of the stupa came to represent a person seated in meditation, much as the Buddha was when he achieved Enlightenment and knowledge of the Four Noble Truths. The stupa's base represents his crossed legs as he sat meditatively. The middle portion is the Buddha’s body and the top of the mound, where a pole rises from the apex surrounded by a small fence, represents his head. Before images of the human Buddha were created, reliefs often depicted practitioners demonstrating devotion to a stupa.
