  21. should be placed in two iron vessels and after the cremation the relics should be placed in a stupa where four roads meet
  22. after the cremation of buddha his relics were divided into eight equal parts and enshrined in stupas across india
  23. most of the original relic stupas are lost and yet to be discovered however two of them were later rediscovered
  24. one was the ramagramas dupa in nepal of the golia clan and another in vaishali
  25. of the lichuay clan during the 3rd century bc king ashoka opened up the israeli stupas and distributed the relics of buddha
  26. in 84 000 of stupas spread across the known world this played a major role in the spread of buddhism he was not successful in
  27. opening the ramagrama stupa because it was fiercely guarded by the snakes many historians infer that perhaps the rama gramas tupa was
  28. guarded by the warriors of the naga clan rama grammar stupa is the only original undisturbed relic stupa

  39. different aspects of the teachings of buddha or his dharma the borobudur stupa in java is the symbol of the three worlds
  40. and the spiritual stages in buddhism similarly the amravati supa in anthra represents symbolically the five important episodes
  41. in the life of buddha that is birth great renunciation
  42. enlightenment first sermon and parinipana the last type of stupa
  43. is the votive stupa they are constructed to commemorate pilgrimage visits or to gain spiritual merits
  44. they are generally found near major sites of pilgrimage or around prominent stupas which are most visited there are hundreds of beautifully carved
  45. votive stupas in sarnath both gaya and sachi these can be made from stones metals or
  46. glass the basic shape of the stupa represents the seated buddha
  47. the square base represents the buddha's cross legs as he sat on the earth the middle section called the mound or
  48. under is the buddha's body and the conical spire or cone at the top
  49. represents the buddha's head there may also be a wooden pole within the supa
  50. representing the buddha's spine the structure of stupa tends to follow the same gender layout
  51. the under or hemisphere is placed on race platforms or drums
  52. and is surrounded by circumambulatory parts with beautifully decorated railings many stupas
  53. are placed on a square base and the four sides represent the four directions north south east and west
  54. each side often has a gate in the center which allows the visitor to enter from any side the gates are called thoran
  55. which provides access to the walking paths each gate also represents the four great life events of the buddha
  56. east represents buddha's birth south the enlightenment west the first sermon and north
  57. represents nirvana the role of the drums is to raise the hemisphere circling the drums and hemisphere
  58. are railings that define a circumambulatory path used by devotees to ritually walk around the stupa as a form of worship
  59. the paths are generally a few meters wide the railings and torrents of the paths also served as
  60. locations for inscriptions recording the donations of buddhist monks nuns and lady from different regions
  61. at the top of the stupa is a yesterday or spire which symbolizes the axis of the earth the yesterday is surrounded by a hamika
  62. which is a stone or wooden gate or fence and is stopped by chatras or parasols which is a symbol of royalty and protection
  63. they also symbolize the bodhi tree the location where the buddha gained enlightenment
  64. at budgaya sometimes the harmika is stopped by multiple parasols the base of the hermika is the place
  65. where the urns containing the remains of the buddha or the great teachers were placed in a gold or silver casket
  66. with very few exceptions the majority of relic deposits are not those of the buddha but of saints
  67. and senior monks the super generally contains a treasury filled with various objects
  68. which are offerings while jewelry and other precious objects are also placed within
  69. it is believed that the more the objects are placed into the treasury the stronger the stupas energy a wooden pool covered with gems and
  70. mantras is an important element of a stupa and is placed in the stupa central channel during the initiation ceremony
  71. the rally casket made with precious metals or stones along with the treasury made the abandoned stupas
  72. target of treasure hunters unfortunately many of the stupas were damaged or destroyed by treasure hunters
  73. including those from europe during the colonial times the earliest tupas contained portions of the buddha's ashes
  74. and as a result the stupa began to be associated with the body of the buddha these early stupas were hemispherical
  75. with a low base while the later ones assumed an increasingly cylindrical form with a well-developed drum in the later
  76. surpass the base terraces and the umbrellas were multiplied however
  77. open-air supers or pilgrimage supers were not the only types of stupas built in india stupas were also constructed
  78. inside the rocket caves or chathas of buddhist monasteries stupas in the rocket caves were usually simpler than the open air
  79. stupas these tupas typically consisted of three parts one or two drums
  80. the under or hemisphere and a hamilkar in all of these complexes the stupa is located at one end of a columned chattya hall
  81. opposite the entrance and a large window which provides only natural light while the rocket monastic chatty halls did have circumambulatory paths but they
  82. are situated along the perimeter of the chateau halls rather than immediately adjacent to the under or hemisphere
  83. as in open-air stupas unlike open-air super complexes the stupas in most of the rocket caves did not contain relics
  84. although a few complexes did but this was more of an exception the lack of relic suggests
  85. that the nature of super worship in rocket super complexes was different than the larger open super complexes
  86. initially stupas were worshiped for what they contained and the relics of buddha was taken as the presence of the living
  87. buddha the worshipping of the stupa was led by king ashoka during the third century bc
  88. during the initial centuries after the parinipan of buddha buddha was expressed by four principal symbols which corresponded to major
  89. events in his life first symbol was elephant which depicted buddha's birth second was bodhitri
  90. depicting enlightenment third was chakra which depicted dhamma and fourth was supa which depicted parinipan
  91. the worship of stupa began as a symbol of pranipan because dhupath made the presence of lord buddha
  92. felt through his mortal remains like his relics nail hair and teeth that it contained therefore the stupa was an object of
  93. worship ashoka also started the celebration of deepakotsa or the festival of lights
  94. on this occasion the stupas were worshiped by lighting up the diaz or earthen lamps in series
  95. this fact has also been proved by the availability of a large number of diyas that have been obtained during the archaeological excavations of stupas
  96. over the next centuries the early stupas at sachi bharata dharmarajika and amraoti became important pilgrimage sites
  97. for the buddhist lady buddhist worship focused upon stupas both large supers containing relics and the smallest dupas within rockcut
  98. caves in addition several monasteries were established around the stupas throughout the subcontinent
  99. these monasteries also became centers of learning and teaching in super complexes the primary form of individual ritual
  100. is circumambulation of the stupa the pilgrim cannot enter the stupa as it is a solid object instead the pilgrim walks around it as a
  101. meditational practice focusing on the buddha's teachings pilgrims will either prostrate themselves multiple times before the super or
  102. circumambulate clockwise around it or do both or simply meditate they also honor stupas with flowers incense and
  103. sandalwood through circumambulation an individual accumulates merit assuring faster attainment of nirvana
  104. when ancient buddhist pilgrims visited any of the famous tupas it was custom to make some offerings to the shrine and
  105. at the same time set up some memorial of their visit these offerings consisted of money jewels and other costly articles by the
  106. rich and fruit flowers and sandalwood for the common masses pilgrims also used to make votive
  107. offerings of small stupas to gain merit and to improve one's karma since the votive stupas are small they can be easily transported
  108. these supers along with small statues of buddha and other buddhist deities were carried across nepal and into tibet helping to spread buddhism the stupas
  109. and monasteries receive the patronage of kings merchants bankers and even the monks themselves donation inscriptions from sanchi and
  110. bharat show that people travelled great distances to worship at the stupa these inscriptions provide a record of
  111. people who supported stupas and monasteries along with listing names and hometowns main inscriptions list the donors
  112. occupation the inscription saw that the major donations came from the monks merchants and artisans with the spread of buddhism
  113. stupa architecture was adopted in southeast and east asia the stupa gateway arches or turins reached east asia
  114. including china and japan along with buddhism in tibet the stupa became the charton
  115. and the pagoda in east asia nepal houses some of the most beautiful and large stupas including the swambunath stupa and the bodhnat stupa
  116. in the kathmandu valley stupas were built in sri lanka soon after king davanam pyatisa of anuradhapura converted to buddhism the jaitavana
  117. ramaya stupa in anuradhapura was one of the tallest non-pyramid ancient structures in the world
  118. in sri lanka the stupa is known as dagobah sri lanka is dotted with some of the highest

  123. chakra kalpa center in austria another super based on the borobudur stupa of jawa is located at amravati buddhist monastery in the
  124. united kingdom the architecture of stupa has also evolved with time though the core ideology of the super is
  125. retained in terms of architectural design to this day the difference between the traditional and modern supers
