A stupa is a sacred Buddhist monument that represents peace, compassion, and wisdom. Inside this one are literally hundreds of millions of prayers and mantras, sacred relics, thousands of miniature stupas, medicines, and offerings gathered from around the world.
In Buddhist tradition, a stupa is believed to amplify prayers and positive intentions. Many people walk clockwise around it while praying or setting an intention, allowing their wishes for healing, peace, compassion, or the well-being of others to become part of something much larger than themselves.
Whether or not Buddhism is part of your path, there's something special about standing in a place that was created with so much intention.
