Essential Buddhist Stupa - Symbolism of the Essential Spiritual Journey
About Our Stupa
This Essential Buddhist Stupa is a delightfully simplified representation of Buddhist spiritual symbolism made of oxidized copper. It stands 28.5 cm tall and has a 13 cm base width. Weighing 1.81 kg, its sleek design stresses purity and the essential precepts of Buddhism, with simple symbols expressing profound meaning.
The stupa's circular base layers represent the grounding element of earth, ensuring stability in spiritual practice, while its unadorned style indicates a humble, focused commitment to devotion. A circular series of reliefs, probably inspired by the lotus, represents purity and the transformational path from material attachments to enlightenment. The ribbed core cylindrical body rises above the base, representing layers of mind and the path to enlightenment. The harmika, a square platform slightly above, serves as a sacred transition to the enlightened mind, while the lotus motif and spire at the top represent Nirvana. Overall, this Essential Buddhist Stupa serves as a powerful reminder of the Buddhist road and the inner journey towards purity, wisdom, and transcendence.
Introduction to Stupa
In the Tibetan language, a Stupa, also known as 'Chorten,' is a dome-shaped building erected as a Buddhist shrine. A Stupa represents the Buddha, topped and sitting on a lion's throne in a meditation post. Buddha's stupa pose is a yoga posture that honors and resembles the Buddha and a stupa. It is a wide squat with the toes pointing outward and the hands in a prayer position.
This Stupa is handcrafted with unique details and plated with gold for Nourishment and Restraint in your life.
