Buddhism Stupa About The Ritual Item : The stupa is a handmade Buddhist shrine finely detailed, which is entirely gold-plated. In the stupa, there is the wrathful Mahakala crafted. The Vajra is crafted at the base of the stupa. The Gemstones Are used to make the stupa shine. Introduction To Stupa : Before Buddhism, great teachers were buried in mounds. Some were cremated but sometimes 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 stupa's base represents his crossed legs as he sat meditatively. 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.-------------------------------------------------------Size: 40cm(Height) and 20cm(Base)Weight: 2.448 kg-------------------------------------------------------How to set up your own Buddhist Shrine?• Find a clean, quiet, and uncluttered spot• Set up an altar table and cover it with an altar cloth that calls to you• Place your sacred item at the center• If you want a more elaborate altar, you can also put Stupa.
