Tibetan Stupa
About The Ritual Item :
The stupa is a handmade Buddhist shrine finely detailed. Stupas encourage peace, harmony, longevity, wealth, and well-being. They benefits to the people who create them, the environment in which they are constructed, and those who come to venerate them. Stupas guarantee that the live nature of Buddhist teachings will always be accessible in this way.
Introduction To Stupa :
Before Buddhism, great teachers were buried in mounds. Some were cremated, but sometimes they were buried in a seated, meditative position. The mound of earth covered them up. Thus, the domed shape of the stupa came to represent a person seated in meditation much as the Buddha was when he achieved Enlightenment and knowledge of the Four Noble Truths. The base of the stupa represents his crossed legs as he sat in a meditative pose. The middle portion is the Buddha’s body and the top of the mound, where a pole rises from the apex surrounded by a small fence, represents his head. Before images of the human Buddha were created, reliefs often depicted practitioners demonstrating devotion to a stupa.
