Detailed Product Description
Here comes an Old Chinese Tibetan QingDy Cloisonne Enamel Prayer Shrine Buddha Stupa Chaitya It is still in very good condition and worth to collect!
What is a stupa?
Ven. Thrangu Rinpoche says that "Even though no living master may be present to teach the Dharma in actuality, generation after generation,
people continue to see the stupa with their eyes, receive blessings, understand that there are the Three Jewels in which you can place your
trust, and in this way, naturally, the Dharma continues. In the same way, when building a stupa for the remains of a great master, his
power and blessings will remain. That is the reason to build a stupa. "
Also, in response to a student`s question as to how to deal with so much suffering in the world, Thrangu Rinpoche recently responded,
"Build peace pagodas (stupas) as they did in Japan, during the time of Nicheren. His building of so many peace pagodas around the country
led to [conditions for] peace and prosperity in Japan."
Stupas range in size from miniatures meant to be put on a shrine as reliquary and/or a remembrance of the mind of the Buddha, to enormous
buildings that serve as temples as well as monuments.
Stupa signifies a domed memorial that usually contains relics and offerings. Its shape evokes the seated figure of the Buddha, and there
are 8 traditional variations to the form, each commemorating an event in the life of the Teacher. They are evocative of the eight chaityas
that first held the Master`s relics.
