The Story of the Amitabha Stupa, Sedona Arizona 1 | Page 34

Crowning the spire is the pinnacle of perfection. A hammered-brass victory umbrella crafted in Nepal holds an upturned crescent moon and sun. A large hand-carved crystal drop, or tigle, seated in a lotus, completes the Stupa. When the moon representing compassion and the sun symbolizing wisdom are fully perfected, enlightenment dawns—the radiant jewel of the spiritual path.
