Tibetan Chorten
About Our Chorten :
Our shrine is a copper stupa that has been hand-carved. It is a dome-shaped elevated building that serves as a Buddhist shrine. In Tibetan, stupas are sometimes referred to as "Chorten." " A stupa is a palace that houses all of the Buddhas.
Introduction To The Chorten :
The Buddha is shown in stupa form, crowned, and seated in lotus on a lion's throne. His throne is the base, his legs are the four lower terrace steps, his body is the vase form, and his legs are the spire's top. The square at the foot of the spire symbolizes his head.
The stupa, or Chorten in Tibetan, is the oldest surviving work of Buddhist art. It represents the huge Indian burial mounds of the past, which Buddhism claims were used to seek for lost Buddha relics. Over time, they developed into a variety of various forms, including miniature metal copies that, while performing the same role as sacred relics, are more significant in a Buddhist monastery for summoning Buddha and his teachings.
