Lotus Model from 24,000 Candles:
The lotus has a diameter of 45 meters, corresponding to the width of the Dhammacetiya Great Stupa, with the total adding to the sum of 9, which symbolizes the nine virtues of the Buddha. The twenty-four (24) lotus petals represent the 24 Causal Relations (Paṭṭhāna); the 3 layers (tiers) of lotus petals symbolize the Triple Gem and the Three Higher Trainings (Virtue, Concentration, Wisdom) that lead to liberation. The 8 petals in each layer represent the Noble Eightfold Path. The total of 24,000 candles signifies the 24,000 Fully Enlightened Buddhas (Sammāsambuddha). Each lit candle is an offering of light to honor each of these noble Enlightened Ones.
