A Student of Buddha asked him 'how would you like to be remembered my lord', and Budha pointed him to his Inverted begging bowl (Bhiksha Patr). And that's how he is remembered in form of Buddhist Stoops.
The Stoops of Sanchi are closely related to the story and the emperor that impresses me the most. Emperor Ashok who was called Chandd Ashok (the Cruel Ashok) at the height of his power (at which point he had one of the largest kingdoms ever in the world), gave up war and violence forever and followed Buddhism. He made his life goal from there on to spread the message of Buddha. It is said that he built 84 thousand Stoops in his life. Sanchi was the first. and from here his son Mahendra and his daughter Sanghmitra started for their endless mission to spread Buddhism.
Buddha had three students. the 'Asthiyan' (the remains) of two of them are said to be buried in these Stoops of Sanchi.
Ashok had a big Piller erect next to the Stoop with the famous Ashok Chinh (The Sign of ashok which is now Indias national emblem) on the top of it. It is now broken. These Toran dwars (the gateways) were made later by Sungas. Tails of Bodhisatvas and Buddha are engraved in intricate details all over on the walls of the gates.Many famous figures like Laughing Budha, MahaKapi ect are taken from these carvings and made into show pieces..
I often pass this lion on a front stoop in my neighborhood. I like his expression. He seems to be thinking, "Lord, what NOW?" He's one of a pair, and his companion is fast asleep. Hill East, DC.
Those of us from Florida know the Sanibel Stoop.(the pose for collecting shells).Well seems that all the birds have the same pose when they are looking for their prey.
