The Buddhist stupa, a sacred architectural structure, embodies profound symbolism within its design. Serving as a tangible representation of the enlightened mind of the Buddha, the stupa carries multifaceted meanings.
A Buddhist stupa is a special tower-like structure that holds deep meaning. It typically looks like a cone-shaped tower and represents the Buddha seated on a throne, which shows his enlightenment and teachings in the world. The stupa carries many symbols: its base stands for the earthly realm and is a strong foundation for Buddhist practice. Going up, the dome represents the Buddha's wisdom and the vastness of existence. Above that, the spire represents the path to enlightenment, while the parasol on top offers protection.
