The famous eyes of Adi-Buddha

The stupa of Swayambhunath resides on a hillock just outside the city center of Kathmandu.


There has been a temple at this place about 2000 years. The impressive, all-seeing eyes of the stupa belong to Adi-Buddha, " the father" of all the Buddhas. But when was the idea about Adi-Buddha born? We are happy to tell you interesting, little-known details about our temples, when we have the honour to be your guide in Nepal!
