Soyambhu Nath, this is one of the world's most glorious Buddhist Stupas. It is said to be 2000 years old. Painted on the four-sides of the spire bases are the all-seeing eyes of Lord Buddha. It is three kilometers west of Kathmandu city and is situated on a hill, above 77 meters of the Kathmandu valley. It is indeed listed a World Heritage Site of Culture to prove that it serves as the nerve center of faithful worship for all the devout Buddhists of the universe. Soyambhu Nath embraces the authentic philosophy of Bajrayan in particular and honors Lord Adi Buddha. It is dedicated to the self-originating flame God. On the hind hill is located another important Buddhist shrine; it is called Manjushree. This compassionate Chinese Buddha is the God of knowledge.
