郭润龙浪迹天涯:“20240615 AM: 1. Boudhanath Stupa is a landmark building in Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal. It is the world's largest round stupa and one of the world cultural heritage sites. It is 38 meters high and 100 meters in diameter. It is said to have been built by King Shiva Deva of the Lichavi Dynasty in the 6th century BC. It is a cultural relic of Tibetan Buddhism in Nepal and an important spiritual totem of Mahayana Buddhists. It is said that there are relics of Kasyapa Buddha in the stupa, which is an important spiritual totem in Mahayana Buddhism. Because the top of the stupa is painted with wisdom eyes, it is also called the Big Eyes Stupa. It is also said that when the stupa was built, it was a drought, and the craftsmen took dewdrops and mud, so it is also called the Dewdrop Stupa. During the worship season, Buddhists from Bhutan, Sikkim, and Tibet in my country will gather here to worship, so Chinese signs are often seen. The scenic area is divided into three major parts: the stupa, the Padmasambhava Temple, and the shop area. It is a good place for sightseeing photography, humanities learning, worshiping Buddha, shopping, and parent-child strolls. When praying around the pagoda, you need to go around it three times in a clockwise direction. ①Address: Circle Kathmandu, Kathmandu, Nepal ②Transportation: Direct bus access, difficult to park by car ③Peak season: None ④Time: 2 hours ⑤Ticket price: 400 rupees (22.2 yuan) 2. The Great Pagoda consists of four-story pagoda base and five-story pagoda body, specifically: ①The first floor of the pagoda base: There are small Buddhist niches, prayer wheels, bells and other Buddhist instruments between the entrances and exits ②The second floor of the pagoda base: There is an incense burner standing at the worship area in front of the pagoda, which looks very much like the pagoda in Tibetan Buddhism (the instrument for storing the corpse of a monk). You need to take off your shoes on this floor, as the ground may be hot in summer. You can also walk around the tower on this floor, and enjoy the street view under the tower ③ The third and fourth floors of the tower base: It is forbidden to go up, and these two floors are blank and have no scenery ④ The four corners of the tower courtyard: Because the tower courtyard wall is circular and the tower base is similar to a cross (12 corners), there are four open spaces in the first floor of the tower base, which are respectively equipped with a painting pool (a pool for painting the white tower body with paint, and a small statue stands on the wellhead next to it), green plants (2 places, the edge of the green plants in one place is surrounded by dense stainless steel small bowls, each bowl contains 2 flowers, orange and yellow; the other place has a small Buddha statue under the green plants), and a small tower ⑤ The first floor of the tower body: The semi-circular tower base represents water, and it is also said to be the womb that creates life. There are golden niches on all four sides, and the five Tathagatas are enshrined inside. The ground is a circle of prayer wheels, and visitors can turn it clockwise to pray for blessings ⑥ The second floor of the tower: a square structure, representing the earth, four squares are painted with a pair of eyebrows and eyes, called "wisdom eyes", symbolizing omniscience ⑦ The third floor of the tower: a triangular structure, representing fire, divided into 13 levels, with a decreasing cross-sectional area layer by layer, in a cone shape, symbolizing the thirteen positions of the Bodhisattva from cause to effect ⑧ The fourth floor of the tower: an umbrella-shaped structure, representing the wind, with a small bell hanging below, and a gentle breeze will make bursts of sound, symbolizing nirvana ⑨ The fifth floor of the tower: a spiral structure, representing the essence of life, composed of all things composed of water, earth, fire, and wind, called "the harmony of the four elements" in Buddhism ⑩ Colorful ribbons: multiple, connecting the top of the tower to the ground, shaped like colorful prayer flags, in the order of blue, white, red, green, and yellow...
