Copper Body Stupa About Our Stupa :This handcrafted stupa is a stunning and intricate work of art made entirely of copper and then plated in 24k gold for a radiant and luxurious fi nish. In Buddhist culture, the stupa is a sacred structure that represents the enlightened mind and the path to awakening. The inclusion of gemstones embedded in the stupa adds a touch of opulence and elegance, enhancing the piece's beauty and significance. The stupa is a symbol of spiritual connection and devotion for those who practice Buddhism or admire its teachings. Introduction To The Stupa :Great teachers were buried in mounds before Buddhism. Some were cremated, but others were buried sitting in a contemplative manner. They were hidden behind the earthen mound. As a result, the stupa's domed shape depicted a person seated in meditation, much like the Buddha was when he attained Enlightenment and understanding of the Four Noble Truths. The stupa's base depicts his crossed legs as he reclines in a contemplative attitude. The center of the mound depicts the Buddha's body, while the top of the mound, where a pole rises from the pinnacle and is surrounded by a little fence, represents his head. Before the development of depictions of the person Buddha, reliefs frequently represented practitioners exhibiting devotion to a stupa.--------------------------------------------------Size: 45 cm(Height) x 26 cm(Base)Weigth:8.18 kg---------------------------------------------------How to set up your own Buddhist Shrine?You can find a clean, quiet, and uncluttered spot.Set up an altar table, and cover it with an altar cloth that calls to youPlace your sacred item (statue, thangka, or a picture of Buddha) at the center Show more
