Examples
In 2019, two more shangdongs were dismantled and a stupa was built in Rumtse, near the shangdong where Sonam had joined other villagers as a child to stone a wolf.
It’s a memory that haunts Sonam, who is now a community leader working with conservationists and villagers to replace shandgdongs with stupas — an approach that’s gathering steam.
The usual manis lie along the road, and a large red chhorten or stupa has a touch of the Indian style.
A small circular stupa was discovered cut out of solid rock below the ground level.
The word stupa has now become corrupted into tope, by which word you will find it designated by modern writers on India.
In the country of Rma there stood a brick stupa or tower, about a hundred feet high, in the time of Hiuen-Tsiang.
The stupa constantly emitted rays of glory, and by the side of it was a Naga tank.
