Story Of Swayambhu Stupa

A Buddha statue for World Peace is erected on the top of the mountain Swayambhu Stupa near Kathmandu, Nepal. Before the statue, you can see a small pot. The pond is surrounded by a steel grill. We have to stand outside of the boundary and have to throw a coin aiming at the pot. If the coin falls into the pot your wish will be fulfilled, that is the belief of the people there. I didn't try, I know definitely my coin will miss the pot. I have seen a lot of coins in the clear water of the pond. However, when a person succeeded in his trying to put the coin in the pot, all the people standing around him clapped for him.

On the top of the Swayambhu Stupa mountain only, the guide said that Buddha after getting the Knowledge started his first preach.
