The Stupa, which represents the Buddhist universe, is a Buddhist sanctuary. It is a mound-like or hemispherical structure containing relics, sometimes square and sometimes round, with towers or steps on the capital. Each peak or step represents a sky.
The uppermost part is a point believed to be the highest peak of Mount Sumeru, a mythical mountain where the Boddhichitta* loses himself in Sunya*. It is used as a place for meditation. A related architectural term is chaitya, a prayer hall or temple containing a stupa.
*Boddhichitta = (“enlightenment mind” or “the thought of awakening”) is the mind (chitta) directed with wisdom toward awakening (boddhi).
*Sunya = emptiness
