In Tibetan Buddhism, there are eight distinct types of stupas, each associated with significant events in the life of the Buddha. The Stupa of the Conquest of Mara, also known as the Stupa of Enlightenment, holds great symbolism. This stupa represents the moment when the 35-year-old Buddha achieved enlightenment while meditating under the bodhi tree in Bodh Gaya. It signifies his triumph over worldly temptations and the attacks of Mara, which took various forms.
Stupas are profoundly significant in the Buddhist tradition, serving as potent symbols that represent the spiritual journey and the ultimate attainment of Nirvana by the Buddha.
