A Stupa is a physical monument that memorializes the enlightenment achieved by those passed, radiates enlightened energy to all beings throughout space in the present, and continuously sows the seeds and causes of future enlightenment throughout the ten directions.
A Stupa or Chorten, in the Tibetan language, means a firm support for the practice of exalted ways of being that are beyond suffering.
The building of stupas is a skillful method of gathering, increasing, and materializing the divine and pure intentions of beings so that they in turn receive blessings both tangible and inconceivable. Stupas completely transform the entire environment they rest in by the radiation and absorption of cosmic compassionate energy via its interaction with beings and the five elements, earth, water, fire, wind, and space.
Essentially, Stupas enable all of us to recognize our own enlightened nature and to develop compassionate intention and presence in our lives. A Stupa is the embodiment of the ground, path, and fruition of complete enlightenment in our own world system.
