Tibetan Stupa For Meditation
About Our Stupa :
A Tibetan Chorten Stupa is a religious structure depicting the Buddha's enlightened mind and the journey to enlightenment. This stupa stands 12.2 inches tall and is carved on an oxidized Copper body. It has a square foundation and a dome-shaped structure on top, representing the five pure elements of earth, water, fire, air, and space. Intricate carvings and engravings represent different Buddhist symbols and chants on the stupa. Circumambulating a stupa while reciting mantras is thought to help one acquire merit and purify negative karma.
Introduction To The Stupa :
Great teachers were buried in mounds before Buddhism. Some were cremated, but others were buried sitting in a contemplative manner. They were hidden behind the earthen mound. As a result, the stupa's domed shape depicted a person seated in meditation, much like the Buddha was when he attained Enlightenment and understanding of the Four Noble Truths. The stupa's base depicts his crossed legs as he reclines in a contemplative attitude. The center of the mound depicts the Buddha's body, while the top of the mound, where a pole rises from the pinnacle and is surrounded by a little fence, represents his head. Before the development of depictions of the person Buddha, reliefs frequently represented practitioners exhibiting devotion to a stupa.
