What is stupa

Stupa is one of the most recognizable forms of Buddhist architecture, dotting the landscape in all Buddhist countries, their style differs from culture to culture, but the basic structure remains the same.

There is five types of stupas:

• relic stupa, containing the remains of the Buddha and his disciples;
  
• object stupa, containing objects that belonged to the Buddha or his disciples;
• commemorative stupa, marking an event in the Buddha’s life;
• symbolic stupa, representing aspects of Buddhist teachings;
• votive stupa, erected to make a dedication or to accumulate merit.

To build a stupa, transmissions from a qualified Buddhist Teacher are necessary. When visiting a stupa, practitioners circumambulate it clockwise as a meditation practice, focusing on the endless cycle of rebirth (samsara) and the eightfold path that leads to freedom from suffering.

Every stupa contains a treasury filled with various objects — small offerings, or Tsa-Tsas, the majority of the treasury, while jewelry and other precious objects are also placed within. The more objects placed into the treasury, the stronger the stupa’s energy.

The Stick of Life, a wooden pole covered with gems and mantras , is an important element of every stupa and is placed in the stupa’s central channel during an initiation ceremony, where participants’ most powerful wishes are stored.

Structure of a stupa.

• Stupa different sections have various symbolic meanings, its basic shape represents the seated Buddha when he achieved enlightenment:
• Square base (4 immeasurables): the Buddha’s crossed legs as he sat on the earth;
• Middle section (Bumpa), the hemisphere or mound, is the Buddha’s body;
• Conical spire at the top: the Buddha’s head.
• Stick of Life, a wooden pole within the stupa, the Buddha’s spine or central channel (avadhuti).

Stupa is a powerful symbol of the mind’s limitless potential as they represent the mind of enlightenment.

Benefits of building a stupa.

• Equal the number of atoms of the stupa and as long as the stupa exists.
• Sentient beings accumulate extensive merit by making offerings to holy objects, and from this merit happiness comes.
• As soon as a stupa is completed, in that very second it becomes an object with which beings can create the cause of happiness. Having one more holy object gives sentient beings one more opportunity to create merit.
• Continued existence and flourishing of the teachings of the Buddha depend upon continued existence of the holy objects of Buddha.
• Purpose of making holy objects is not only so that the person who makes them can complete their collection of merit; it also gives many other sentient beings, who do not have the karma actually to meet Buddha and make offerings to him, the opportunity to make offerings to the holy body, holy speech, holy mind.
