With square, triangular, round, and vertical forms symbolizing the primary elements, surmounted by the victory banners and parasols of enlightment, stupas have come to symbolize the Truth Body reality of enlightment, the all-pervasive mind of all Buddhas, Tibetans used stupas to transform the landscape of Tibet, placing these reminders of the omnipresence of enlightment everywhere. Buddha Kanakamuni, one of the seven Buddhas of past age, is sitting inside the shrine window.
Each of eight different Stupas symbolizes one major site of Buddha Shakyamuni´s Life.
