lotus that miraculously blossomed from the lake. Manjushree, while meditating
at the sacred mountain, had a vision of the brilliant but mysterious light
radiated by the lotus and flew across China and Tibet to worship it. In order

lake and thus, the lotus was transformed into a hilltop and the light into
Swayambhunath Stupa. Hence, the derivation of the title Swayambhu, which means
self-creation. This superior white mound and glittering golden spire is visible
