About Our Stupa :
The Gold-Plated Stupa for Shrine is a handmade Tibetan ceremonial object built specifically for spiritual contexts. This sacred stupa is 48 cm tall, 27.5 cm wide, and weighs 3.63 kg. It is made of solid copper and has a gorgeous gold plating. It is decorated with imitation turquoise stones, emanating mystical energy and serving as an excellent centerpiece for any home altar, temple, or meditation space. The stupa is not simply a beautiful decorative object, but also a place for spiritual practice.
A gemstone is placed on top of the stupa to symbolize the value of enlightenment. The sun and moon beneath it indicate prajna (knowledge) and bodhichitta (compassionate heart). The parasol atop the stupa represents compassion, while the 13 bhumis (levels) symbolize the path to enlightenment. The bhumpa or harmika, located beneath the dome, is meticulously carved to represent the connection between the material and spiritual worlds. The four stairs below represent the Eight Noble Paths, while the base, which resembles a throne, represents the Buddha's body.
This gold-plated stupa depicts the Buddha's awakened intellect and is treasured throughout Himalayan civilizations as a source of blessings and spiritual merit. Skilled artisans make Every part painstakingly, effortlessly blending profound significance and aesthetic beauty. The gold plating symbolizes purity and knowledge, while the turquoise stones represent healing and protection. This stupa is not just a potent spiritual tool, but also a stunning work of sacred art.
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.
