Geocache Description:

The cache is number 38 in my series of “Tree of Life”, which is a symbol of the human life.

Swayambhu means in Tibetan language: Sublim Trees, becauce of the many kinds of trees at the hill.

Inside all stupa is a Tree. A Stupa is build by the five elements, Earth, yellow, the square at the ground, Water, blue, the round on it, Fire, red, the  triangle on it,, Wind/tree, green, sun and moon on it, and in the top, white, space as a tikle which ends in space.

This is a Mystery cache and to find the cache by visit the AL Adventure Labcache, and the coordinates is given at some stages.

You can read more about Adventure Lab caches and download the special app  here .

I have tryed to lay caches here several times, but every times, the monkey find the cache first, and they don´t understand, that they must not take it. Therefore the cache now is some praying flags, and you write your name on one flag at the bagside, and it is said, that you get the blessings by the wind in the flags. In the log, please write on which colour flag you wrote your name.

It is about the tree as a symbol of connection between Earth and Sky, Science and Spirit in the history, religion and myth, family and stock, the art, words and poetry, environment and survive. Physics, mind and dreams. "Science enlightenment".

A tree connects the Earth and the Sky, the worldly life and the spiritual connections.

• The symbol of the root of the tree is where you come from the family and the home.

• The stem is your person and your life.

• The crown is your actions, the fruit of your life and the spiritual connection to the sky.

Stupa.

The Stupa is the symbol the Buddhas enlightenment -  of life and how to reach to enlightenment. Every stages of the Stupa is the symbol of different stages of the mind and about karma and rebirth. It is built up with the elements: Earth, water, fire, air and space. The flags also refir to the elements.

In the middle of the stupa is a tree, and it goes up inside to all the elements. When you built it, you take a tree from the nature and mark it, so the directions in the stupa is the same as in nature. The stupa is filled up with holy things from enlightent meditation masters, and in the stupa is placed a Buddha statue.

When you walk around the stupa, at least 3 times, you can get the blessings from the holy spirits.

My meditation teacher lives near the stupa in a monastery, and I have visited him many times, and I learned to make stupa.

J S-B and a munk who leves near can look after the cache, when I am not there.
