While some were cremated, others were buried in a seated, meditative posture, covered by a mound of earth. Consequently, the domed shape of the stupa evolved to represent a person seated in meditation, mirroring the Buddha's posture when he attained Enlightenment and understood the Four Noble Truths. The stupa's base symbolizes his crossed legs in meditation, the middle section represents the Buddha’s body, and the top of the mound, featuring a pole rising from the apex surrounded by a small fence, signifies his head. Before human images of the Buddha were created, reliefs frequently depicted practitioners demonstrating devotion to a stupa.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ESJ","offers":[{"title":"10.5cm x 6cm","offer_id":48869541642490,"sku":"24958ESJLotusBlossomStupa","price":351.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0442\/7218\/9604\/files\/73462db4-b875-40f5-968a-8ce7e52b1406-copy.jpg?v=1778387906","url":"https:\/\/enlightenmentthangka.com\/products\/handcrafted-altar-lotus-blossom-stupa","provider":"Enlightenment Thangka","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
