Stupa, Buddhist Shrine
Our shrine is a hand-carved copper stupa coated with gold and decorated with gems. It is a dome-shaped building uplifted as a Buddhist shrine. Stupas are also known as “Chorten” in the Tibetan language. It is said that “A stupa is a palace where all the Buddhas are abiding.”
In the shape of the stupa appears the Buddha, crowned, and sitting in meditation posture on a lion throne. His crown is the top of the spire; his head is the square at the spire's base; his body is the vase shape; his legs are the four steps of the lower terrace, and the base is his throne.
