Introduction of Descent from Heaven Stupa
Historically, before Buddhism, great teachers were interred in mounds. While some were cremated, others were buried in a seated, meditative position, covered by an earth mound. Consequently, the domed shape of the stupa came to represent a person seated in meditation, mirroring the Buddha's posture when he attained Enlightenment and understood the Four Noble Truths. The base of the stupa signifies his crossed legs in meditation, the middle section represents the Buddha’s body, and the top, featuring a pole rising from the apex encircled by a small fence, symbolizes his head. Prior to the creation of human Buddha images, reliefs often depicted practitioners demonstrating devotion to a stupa.
