Stupa

People mention body, speech and mind of a Buddha, the Buddha's Body is represented by the Holy Images, Buddha's Speech by Dharma Text and Scriptures and Buddha's Mind represented by a Stupa.

Stupas come in many sizes, as huge as a building or up to as small as a pendant. In stupas, normally is encased with holy relics of High Enlightened beings or Precious Items such as High Lama's prayer bead.

For small Stupas, we can insert holy relic inside and place on the left hand side of the Buddha Image (our Right) It serves as a reminder to us, to have the mind of an enlightened being.
