Symbolism of the Stupa
A stupa (Tib. chörten) is not just a monument, but a symbol of the enlightened mind of the Buddha. Every part of its structure represents an aspect of the path to enlightenment, is a physical support for devotion, meditation, and accumulation of merit. Lama Zopa Rinpoche often emphasized that stupas are powerful fields of merit because they embody the Buddha’s enlightened mind. Making offerings to them has immense benefits:
Purification of negative karma
Even animals or insects that circle a stupa create causes to purify eons of negative karma.
Accumulation of great merit
Making offerings or circumambulations plants seeds for enlightenment. Making offerings to a stupa is equivalent to offering to all the Buddhas.
Creates causes for realizations, especially the realizations of bodhicitta and emptiness, the essence of the path.
Protection from obstacles
Stupas radiate blessings to the environment, protecting beings from natural disasters, disease, and harmful spirits.
Ultimate benefit — Enlightenment, As Rinpoche always said: ‘Stupas are wish-fulfilling. Any prayer you make to a stupa will succeed’.
