Adorned with exquisitely carved Eight Auspicious Symbols and Eight Auspicious Substances on the round bell, it also features an elaborate parasol inlaid with semi-precious stones. Representing the mind and wisdom of the Buddha, this stupa serves as an essential object of veneration on the altar and a perfect offering to a teacher.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Kadam-style stupa is characterized by a simple yet elegant top with a parasol and thirteen descending discs. The center is adorned with a square balcony-like structure and a distinctive round bell-shaped bottom, all resting on a round double lotus base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA unique feature of the Kadam stupa is its round bell-shaped bottom. It is commonly believed that the Kadam stupa was introduced to Tibet by Atisha and the Kadam Tradition. The Kadam stupa is based on the eighth and final of the Eight Great Stupas, symbolizing the parinirvana of Shakyamuni Buddha. Typically, Kadam stupas are between eight and ten inches tall and are used as ritual objects on shrines or during the elaborate mandala offering ritual.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Eight Auspicious Symbols of Tibetan Buddhism are the endless knot, banner of victory, all-powerful wheel, precious parasol, golden fishes, vase of treasure, exquisite lotus, and white conch. These symbols were originally used in India at ceremonies such as the investiture or coronation of a king. In Buddhism, they represent the offerings made by the gods to Shakyamuni Buddha immediately after his enlightenment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Eight Auspicious Substances hold great significance, each commemorating a specific occasion related to the arising, teaching, increase, and demonstration of the Dharma's power and benefit. These substances are the right-coiling conch shell, yogurt, durva grass, vermilion, bilva fruit, mirror, giwang, and white mustard seed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e-----\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"mso-fareast-language: ZH-HK;\" data-mce-style=\"mso-fareast-language: ZH-HK;\"\u003eDiameter: 10.5 cm\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"mso-fareast-language: ZH-HK;\" data-mce-style=\"mso-fareast-language: ZH-HK;\"\u003eHeight: 20.5 cm\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"mso-fareast-language: ZH-HK;\" data-mce-style=\"mso-fareast-language: ZH-HK;\"\u003eWeight: 1 kg\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e*Please note that due to variations in manufacturing processes and photography, the measurements, weight, and color of this product may slightly differ from what is displayed on our website.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Youthful Moon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45467459518685,"sku":"OI-15","price":1528.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0707\/7160\/5725\/files\/OI-15-01.jpg?v=1720154482","url":"https:\/\/www.youthfulmoon.com\/fr\/products\/magnificent-pure-brass-kadam-style-stupa","provider":"Youthful Moon","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
