DESCRIPTION
The present study shows how Tibet became a treasure house of Buddhist culture and literature, highlighting important texts dealing with stupa architecture. Among all the religious monuments of the world, the stupa has the longest uninterrupted historical development. Though modelled after the Indian prototype, the stupa architecture was developed in all the countries where Buddhism had flourished.
