Slide 5 Sacred Arts of Tibet This photo shows a monk in front of the stupa of Gyantse Monastery with a river valley and mountains in the distance. Gyantse is the largest stupa in Tibet. Although not all stupas do, this one represents a three-dimensional mandala (see Slide 4). The name Kumbum refers to the 100,000 Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, saints, teachers, divine and wrathful images inside the 73 chapels contained within the stupa. What is a Stupa? Stupa (Tibetan: chorten), Gyantse Kumbum Built around 1440 Photo by Frank Hoch A stupa should be erected at the crossroads so that whoever places garlands or perfumes or lamps there, or rejoices in speech or thought, will have lasting benefits and joy. —Maha Parinibbana Sutra Stupa (Chorten in Tibetan) means a “support for worship.” In the era following the passing from this world of the Buddha Shakyamuni, his followers needed a manifest, physical support for their worship of his complex and abstract doctrine. The stupa was taught by the Buddha to embody the nature of his enlightened mind. As a result, stupas became revered as sacred places and became the destination of religious pilgrims and the sites of ritual activity throughout the Buddhist world. 35 Asian Art Museum
