stupa  

Définition(s)

  • Although typically associated with monuments in the Buddhist traditions, the Sanskrit word stūpa refers most basically to “a heap or pile of earth or bricks” (Monier-Williams, 1899). The stupa qua Buddhist reliquary derives from earlier traditions in which important bodies were placed within burial mounds. [Source: Encyclopedia of Global Religion; Stupa]
