It points out that the Stupa, empowered with relics of the Buddha and the enlightened lineage, embodies symbols that communicate directly with subtle levels of consciousness to activate the power of compassion and evoke the thought of enlightenment. The text is illustrated with two hundred photographs of historically important stupas. It includes an overview of the eight great caityas, the parts of the caitya as they relate to the 37 Wings of Enlightenment, and a traditional account of the \"self-arisen\" Svayambhu Stupa of Nepal.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eAuthor: Tarthang Tulku Rinpoche\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eEditor: Elizabeth Cook \u0026amp; the editorial team of the Yeshe De Project.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003ePublisher: Dharma Publishing\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eStyle: Paperback\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eEdition Print: 1997\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eISBN: 9780898002843\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003ePages: 472\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dharma Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46187025760571,"sku":"3487","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0807\/4402\/2331\/files\/Crystal_Mirror_12_The_Stupa__62647.1445803341.1280.1280_1_copy.jpg?v=1767734857"},{"product_id":"psycho-cosmic-symbolism-of-the-buddhist-stupa","title":"Psycho-cosmic Symbolism of the Buddhist Stupa","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eTitle: PSYCHO-COSMIC SYMBOLISM OF THE BUDDHIST STUPA\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eDescription: Lama Anagarika Govinda spent many years living and traveling in India and Tibet.

Yet not much is known about his intellectual and spiritual development. In his splendid study, Hirshberg sums up his importance in the following words: ‘Nyangrel was both the architect of his enlightened identity and the product of his time.

Third, it analyzes the inner and outer vehicles of the Buddhist tantras, with an emphasis on the three classes of the great perfection. Fourth, it documents the lines of philosophical transmission within Tibet, including Bon, Nyingma, Kagyu, Sakya, Kadampa, and Geluk.
