Why Golden Stupa?
Why Golden Stupa?
Stupas are probably the oldest (known) form of spiritual architecture, predating Buddhism and Hinduism. Like many forms of spiritual architecture, they contain relics, art and precious materials important to the community and its spiritual leaders. Stupas also create an atmosphere of peace, where gardens, humans and various animal and bird species co-exist harmoniously within the surrounding vicinity. Like many pyramid designs, stupas have internal cavities and channels allowing the flow of air, water or life. Placing gold or other precious materials on the surface or insides of the stupa is a means for a community to place its wealth in the community center, instead of hoarding such materials for oneself or a limited clan.
When viewed from above, stupas are of mandalic design — that is, they are then seen as concentric square, circle and entry passageways into a central focal point. So it is said that stupas are 3-dimensional mandalas.
Our vision for Golden Stupa Media is to serve our and other peoples’ communities in a way that generates harmony and healthy cultural expression. It also means that we favor a mandalic mindset, or balanced and inclusive energetic / archetypal functions.
