Full Gold-plated brass Stupa

    This sacred and exquisite miniature stupa is made of pure copper and is handmade using the ancient lost wax casting method. Finally, the whole body is plated with 24K gold. The tower is decorated with hand-carved patterns and inlaid semi-precious stones. From the square base to the lotus top, every element strictly follows the sacred geometric shape specifications of Buddhist stupas.  

   The structure of the stupa embodies the five stages that must be passed on the spiritual practice path. The square base symbolizes the earth element and represents stability. The practitioner's journey begins from the ground. Above is the gracefully curved dome, which symbolizes the water element and the Buddha's vast and compassionate mind. There are thirteen steps above the dome, representing the thirteen levels of tempering that must be passed on the path to enlightenment.

   At the top of the stupa, the sun and crescent - two spires - represent the combination of relative truth and absolute truth. The top of the stupa is a lotus bud, symbolizing purity.
