About Kadampa Stupa

Kadampa Stupa is a sacred Buddhist monument that reflects the teachings and legacy of the Kadampa tradition, which was founded by the Indian master Atisha in the eleventh century. This stupa has a distinct bell-shaped structure with a double lotus base and a stepped harmika that supports thirteen conical rings representing the stages of enlightenment. It is crowned with a lotus-shaped top piece that symbolizes purity and spiritual awakening. The design of the Kadampa Stupa is based on the style Atisha brought to Tibet, and it often serves as a symbol of his presence and teachings. Practitioners of the Kadampa tradition use this stupa as a focus for meditation and devotion, and it is believed to embody the enlightened mind of the Buddha and the guru.
