Its massive mandala, topped with the all-seeing eyes of Buddha, attracts monks, locals, and visitors who circumambulate the stupa, spinning prayer wheels and chanting mantras. Bouddhanath is not only a center for Tibetan Buddhism but also a serene sanctuary for meditation and reflection, offering a profound sense of peace amidst the chaos of daily life. Kapan monastery is a Tibetan Buddhist monastery located on a hilltop north of the Bouddhanath stupa.
