While some were cremated, others were occasionally buried in a seated, meditative posture, covered by an earth mound. Consequently, the domed shape of the stupa came to symbolize a person seated in meditation, much like the Buddha when he attained Enlightenment and knowledge of the Four Noble Truths. The stupa's base represents his crossed legs in a meditative pose, the middle section signifies the Buddha's body, and the top of the mound, from which a pole rises surrounded by a small fence, represents his head. Before human images of the Buddha were created, reliefs often depicted practitioners demonstrating devotion to a stupa.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"TDY","offers":[{"title":"32cm x 16.5cm","offer_id":48897099006202,"sku":"25024TDYEnlightenmentStupa","price":769.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0442\/7218\/9604\/files\/cf39bcda-4a00-46d4-92ac-123959da4b86-copy.jpg?v=1778992446","url":"https:\/\/enlightenmentthangka.com\/products\/ritual-altar-enlightenment-stupa","provider":"Enlightenment Thangka","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
