Stupas with Relics 舍利塔
Stupas are among the oldest symbols in Buddhist art, representing enlightenment and liberation. They are commonly found in Buddhist monasteries and often contain the relics or sacred objects associated with enlightened beings.
Kong Meng San Phor Kark See Monastery has two stupas containing relics.
舍利塔是佛教艺术中最古老的象征之一，代表觉悟与解脱。在佛教寺院中常可见到舍利塔，塔内通常供奉圣者舍利，有时也安奉其全身遗骨或其他重要圣物。
光明山普觉禅寺（KMSPKS）内现有两座舍利塔，供奉殊胜舍利，为信众提供了清净庄严的瞻礼之处。
Venerable Zhuan Dao Stupa 转道老和尚舍利塔
The first stupa, commemorating the monastery’s founder, is situated between the Hall of Amrita Precepts and the Hall of Great Strength.
第一座舍利塔位于甘露戒堂与大雄宝殿之间，纪念开山鼻祖转道老和尚。
Venerable Hong Choon Stupa 宏船老和尚舍利塔
The second stupa, dedicated to the second abbot, is located between Abbot’s Hall and the Pagoda of Ten Thousand Buddhas. Both stupas are identical in appearance.
第二座舍利塔位于方丈楼与万佛宝塔之间，纪念第二任方丈宏船老和尚。两座舍利塔外观相同。
Circumambulation 绕塔
As an expression of respect and reverence, devotees circumambulate a stupa in a clockwise direction (keeping their right towards the object of veneration), typically once or thrice. During circumambulation, individuals may silently recite the Buddha’s name or chant aloud in a group.
为表达恭敬与虔诚，信众常依顺时针方向绕行舍利塔（即右侧朝向礼敬对象），通常绕行一圈或三圈。绕塔时，个人可默念佛号，或随大众齐声念诵。
