The Worlds Largest Buddha Stuppa

You just need to look into the Buddha eyes




The Great stupa of Boudhanath stands approx. 6km NE from the centre of Kathmandu valley.  Surrounded by hills, Boudhanath stupa is a jewel point in the center of a natural mandala, a store of sacred energy.  It is one of the most important places of pilgrimage for the Buddhist.  It is known as Boudha or Boudhanath, meaning lord of wisdom.  It is a protective purifactory and wish granting stupa.
Pilgrims walk clockwise around the stuppa spinning the wheels
 and chanting mantras
Prayer flags everywhere

How can you not be happy in a place like this
So much character in this face

Spinning prayer wheels
Butter lamps
Who could not be enlightened here
