Se trata de un gran relieve de bronce de 26 metros de largo por 8 de largo, que describe las dificultades que Sakyamuni debió enfrentar en su práctica budista hasta llegar a su iluminación.
En 1498 el cabildo encomendó al escultor Felipe Bigarny un relieve en piedra para el trasaltar. Bigarny ejecutó en piedra caliza su Camino del Calvario. Se trata de la primera obra documentada de este artista en Burgos y en ella muestra su estilo, muy deudor de la expresividad y la estética gótica pero abierto a las novedades renacentistas, como se evidencia en los elementos decorativos. Tras el éxito del encargo, el cabildo le encomendó dos relieves más: los de la Crucifixión y el Descendimiento, entierro y resurrección de Cristo (1500-1503), ambos actualmente están muy dañados al haberse labrado en piedra de mala calidad que se pulveriza con la humedad. El marco decorativo arquitectónico de los relieves se atribuye a Simón de Colonia.
Este conjunto escultórico se completó casi dos siglos después con la adición en los extremos de dos nuevos relieves, dedicados a la Oración del Huerto y a la Ascensión. Fueron ejecutados por el escultor Pedro Alonso de los Ríos entre 1681 y 1683, también en piedra caliza, y en estilo barroco.

Time To Stop and Smell the -- Sweet Woodruff
Sweet Woodruff — A Ground Cover That Likes Our Dense Shade
Galium odoratum
This ground cover loves the shade as much as Pachysandra and is far sexier. Excellent ground-cover for dense shade areas. The book on it says it prefers moist, well-drained soil—but my back yard is anything but WELL drained—so I give it nine stars for allowing it's feet to remain wet well into the 'dog' days of summer and then remaining fresh and green even while our Northeastern Ohio August sun bakes the ground into sheets of clay pottery until the rains come again in October.
So if you’re dealing with an area where other plants just die off due to too much moisture, try some Sweet Woodruff. It can get as tall as 10 inches, and mine is no exception.
In spring, the tiny four-petaled blooms dotting the bed do add a certain je ne sais quoi to our woodland garden and, while the humble flowers are attractive enough, for me, the leaves are the real treasures on this plant. The delicate foliage is arranged in whorls of six to eight leaves and have a new mowed hay fragrance that intensifies as the plant dries. In fact, the full intensity of the leaf's soft, lovely fragrance is only reached when dried and crushed. So don't go by how it smells if you pick a fresh boquet. In medieval times it was used as a a "strewing herb," sort of automatic air freshener. The lady of the house would strew the dry leaves over her floors and when crushed and recrushed under foot by those walking on them, the lovely fragrance would fill the air and help relieve the gamy atmosphere of the average residence in those days.

Swayambhunath (Devanagari: स्वयम्भूनाथ स्तुप; Newar: स्वयंभू; sometimes romanized Swoyambhunath) is an ancient religious architecture atop a hill in the Kathmandu Valley, west of Kathmandu city. It is also known as the Monkey Temple as there are holy monkeys living in the north-west parts of the temple. The Tibetan name for the site means 'Sublime Trees' (Wylie:Phags.pa Shing.kun), for the many varieties of trees found on the hill. However, Shing.kun may be a corruption of the local Nepal Bhasa name for the complex, Singgu, meaning 'self-sprung'. For the Buddhist Newars in whose mythological history and origin myth as well as day-to-day religious practice, Swayambhunath occupies a central position, it is probably the most sacred among Buddhist pilgrimage sites. For Tibetans and followers of Tibetan Buddhism, it is second only to Boudhanath.
The Swayambhunath complex consists of a stupa, a variety of shrines and temples, some dating back to the Licchavi period. A Tibetan monastery, museum and library are more recent additions. The stupa has Buddha's eyes and eyebrows painted on. Between them, the number one (in Devanagari script) is painted in the fashion of a nose. There are also shops, restaurants and hostels. The site has two access points: a long stairway with 365 steps, leading directly to the main platform of the temple, which is from the top of the hill to the east; and a car road around the hill from the south leading to the southwest entrance. The first sight on reaching the top of the stairway is the Vajra. Tsultrim Allione describes the experience:
We were breathless and sweating as we stumbled up the last steep steps and practically fell upon the biggest vajra (thunder-bolt scepter) that I have ever seen. Behind this vajra was the vast, round, white dome of the stupa, like a full solid skirt, at the top of which were two giant Buddha eyes wisely looking out over the peaceful valley which was just beginning to come alive.
Much of Swayambhunath's iconography comes from the Vajrayana tradition of Newar Buddhism. However, the complex is also an important site for Buddhists of many schools, and is also revered by Hindus.
MYTHOLOGY
According to Swayambhu Purana, the entire valley was once filled with an enormous lake, out of which grew a lotus. The valley came to be known as Swayambhu, meaning "Self-Created." The name comes from an eternal self-existent flame (svyaṃbhu) over which a sūpa was later built.
Swayambhunath is also known as the Monkey Temple as there are holy monkeys living in the north-west parts of the temple. They are holy because Manjushri, the bodhisattva of wisdom and learning was raising the hill which the Swayambhunath Temple stands on. He was supposed to leave his hair short but he made it grow long and head lice grew. It is said that the head lice transformed into these monkeys.
Manjusri had a vision of the lotus at Swayambhu and traveled there to worship it. Seeing that the valley can be good settlement and to make the site more accessible to human pilgrims, he cut a gorge at Chovar. The water drained out of the lake, leaving the valley in which Kathmandu now lies. The lotus was transformed into a hill and the flower became the Swayambhunath stupa.
HISTORY
Swayambhunath, is among the oldest religious sites in Nepal. According to the Gopālarājavaṃśāvalī Swayambhunath was founded by the great-grandfather of King Mānadeva (464-505 CE), King Vṛsadeva, about the beginning of the 5th century CE. This seems to be confirmed by a damaged stone inscription found at the site, which indicates that King Mānadeva ordered work done in 640 CE.
However, Emperor Ashoka is said to have visited the site in the third century BCE and built a temple on the hill which was later destroyed.
Although the site is considered Buddhist, the place is revered by both Buddhists and Hindus. Numerous Hindu monarch followers are known to have paid their homage to the temple, including Pratap Malla, the powerful king of Kathmandu, who is responsible for the construction of the eastern stairway in the 17th century.
The stupa was completely renovated in May 2010, its first major renovation since 1921 and its 15th in the nearly 1,500 years since it was built. The dome was re-gilded using 20 kg of gold. The renovation was funded by the Tibetan Nyingma Meditation Center of California, and began in June 2008.
The temple complex suffered damage in the 2015 Nepal earthquake.
ARCHITECTURE
The stupa consists of a dome at the base, above which is a cubical structure painted with eyes of Buddha looking in all four directions. There are pentagonal Toran present above each of the four sides with statues engraved in them. Behind and above the torana there are thirteen tiers. Above all the tiers there is a small space above which the Gajur is present. The stupa has many artifacts inside it.
SYMBOLISM
The dome at the base represents the entire world. When a person awakes (represented by eyes of wisdom and compassion) from the bonds of the world, the person reaches the state of enlightenment. The thirteen pinnacles on the top symbolize that sentient beings have to go through the thirteen stages of spiritual realizations to reach enlightenment or Buddhahood.
There is a large pair of eyes on each of the four sides of the main stupa which represent Wisdom and Compassion. Above each pair of eyes is another eye, the third eye. It is said that when Buddha preaches, cosmic rays emanate from the third eye which act as messages to heavenly beings, so that those interested can come down to earth to listen to the Buddha. The hellish beings and beings below the human realm cannot come to earth to listen to the Buddha's teaching, however, the cosmic rays relieve their suffering when Buddha preaches.
There are carvings of the Panch Buddhas (five Buddhas) on each of the four sides of stupa. There are also statues of the Buddhas at the base of the stupas. Panch Buddhas are Buddha in metaphorical sense in Tantrayana. They are Vairochana (occupies the center and is the master of the temple), Akshobhya (faces the east and represents the cosmic element of consciousness), Ratna Sambhava (faces the south and represents the cosmic element of sensation), Amitabha (He represents cosmic element of Sanjna (name) and always faces the West) and Amoghsiddhi (He represents the cosmic element of conformation and faces the north).
Each morning before dawn hundreds of Buddhist (Vajrayana) and Hindu pilgrims ascend the 365 steps from eastern side that lead up the hill, passing the gilded Vajra (Tibetan: Dorje) and two lions guarding the entrance, and begin a series of clockwise circumambulations of the stupa.
SWAYAMBHU PURANA
Swayambhu Purana (Devnagari: स्वयम्भू पूराण) is a Buddhist scripture about the origin and development of Kathmandu valley. Swayambhu Purana gives detail of all the Buddhas who came to Kathmandu. It also provides information about the first and the second Buddhas in Buddhism.
