Notice and Conditions of Use
If you do not agree with these conditions, kindly delete all copies of
the accompanying file.
This file contains clipart of a Tibetan Buddhist Stupa (Chorten/Pagoda) created
by myself. It is surrounded by an Endless Knot border.
This particular form is known as a Namgyal or "Victorious" Choten.
Each part has all kinds of meaning which cn be found in several books.
I have drawn this according to traditional proportions.
Such monuments originally contained relics of the Buddha or Buddhist saints
and they symbolize the "Mind" of the Buddha (Enlightened Mind).
[In the same way that a Buddha image represents the body of the Buddha
(Enlightend form) and the Buddhist scriptures his speech (Enlightened speech)]
This graphic may be freely used in any appropriate place as a seperate illustration
or part of a larger illustration.
Appropriate place in this case means in any place where you reasonably feel that it
would not be offensive to a devout Buddhist as they would consider this a religious
image.
I feel that appropriate place does not include commercial advertising-
unless it is for a charitable or a Buddhist religious foundation.
I only ask that I am properly credited and I would appreciate receiving a copy of any
publication where it is used.
This art or file should not be distributed without this notice or in any other format.
This art or file should not be distributed in this form or any other modified form
as part of any collection of clip-art for which a charge is made other than the
cost of media + postage.
May All Be Happy
