What does the eye of Nepal mean?

You mean Bodener stupa, a world cultural heritage. Bodener stupa, a world cultural heritage, is located in the east of Kathmandu, about 6 kilometers away from Temel. It is the center of Tibetan Buddhism in Nepal and a holy place for Buddhists in the Himalayas. "Bodener" means awakening. Bodener Giant stupa is the largest dome-shaped stupa in Asia and the world, with a height of about 36 meters and a circumference of 100 meters. It is said that there are relics of the Buddha in the pagoda, which has a history of 1200 years.

The tower body consists of tower foundation, tower bottom, tower cone and tower crown. The stupa has five shapes from the pedestal to the top of the tower, symbolizing the five elements of the universe: the four-story pedestal represents the earth; The semi-circular main tower represents water; 13 pyramid represents fire; The round crown represents qi; The zenith is the sky.

Taki falls to the ground, and there are four floors of piers, which symbolize the mandala of Tibetan Buddhism meditation.

The semi-circular main tower is covered with a bowl, which represents the Tathagata-Tibetan or Buddhist nature of developing its own merits, that is, the potential to become a Buddha; There is a 147 recess on the outer wall of the ring wall at the outer edge of the main tower. There are five prayer wheels engraved with Datura in each niche, and there are 108 (108 is an auspicious number in Tibetan culture) Buddha statues in meditation.

This tower is a square harmika, painted with red, white and blue on all sides, which can see through everything. Buddha's eyes symbolize wisdom and consciousness. There is also a small spiral eye between the two big eyes, which is the "eye of wisdom". Below the eyes is a nose like a question mark. This is the number "1" in Nepal, which means harmony.
