The Spirit of the World ( On and Off)
Stupa Serendipity
Serendipity is one of my favorite words and it used to be the name of Sri Lanka, one of my favorite places. The little gem of an island is off the coast of India so when I was in India I was reminded of the several trips I have made to Sri Lanka. There are major differences so one should not miss either of them if you are a re traveller.
This stupa is symbolic of Sri Lankan Buddhism which is more of a religious force on the island than Hinduism. There is an area of Sri Lanka which is home to the ancient cities and this is one of many white stupas in the area.
The ancient cities are very impressive. They had mastered the art of conserving rain water in reservoirs and had a system of sanitation 2000 years ago!
