Boudanath Stupa in Nepal




Boudanath Stupa

Boudanath Stupa is situated in Bouda, Nepal, unofficially known as "Little Tibet."

Many people do their rounds going around this stupa in a clockwise direction. They also spin prayer wheels (མ་ནི་ཆོས་འཁོར) along the way.

Spinning mani wheels is of special significance. According to Tibetan Buddhist tradition, spinning these prayer wheels is just as useful and good as reciting prayers orally.
