Stupas are symbols of Dharmakaya, the formless aspect of enlightenment free of all attributes. In Tibet where they are known as chortens, they are venerated as manifestations of the body, speech, and mind of the Buddha and the stages of the spiritual path. They are traditionally placed on the highest level of an altar. | |
