Then one day she thought that, she decided to go to the local king of this area to ask permission to offer land to build stupa.

Normally the king doesn’t give them such permission, but somehow may be due to her past good merits(karma). The king allowed her the permission for land but it was granted on Terms and condition, the king said, that she can use a land measuring the size of an Ox skin. However, Ma azima was agreed, and cut off the all skin into the thin of the string size and claimed the land enclosed from the ox skin string which laid end to end, Because she wanted to build a quiet a bigger stupa and offered to buddha.

Then she measured the land by her skin string and drew the borderline by put the stone pillar to make separated her land, while she started build up-to three line of walls, caused much jealousy between the rich and powerful at the time in that area.

Thus the Tibetan call it Choten Jarung khasor. ( Choten means; stupa/ Jarung means; can do./ Khasor means; slipped out of the mouth) after permission, while she started to built a stupa, she was passed away after she completed up to the three level of vase(dome) of the stupa, the dome-like structure. She had four sons, and they built it up step by step and completed the rest of stupa. It took seven years to completed and when it was completed, the Sun didn’t set for five days.

They all wanted to wish and prayers, and stood up in front of the stupa and make a prayer. Everyone prays for a wish. While they were praying that all 84,000 Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Gods, Goddesses, and Dakinis assembled from the ten directions to the seat of the loft sky and shower blessings and flowers on Boudhanath Stupa Then they dissolved into the Stupa. That is why Boudhanath Stupa stands as the main root of Buddhism representing the compassion of all the Buddhas and bodhisattvas,

And anybody who makes the wish and prays in front of the buddha stupa, it will come true and fulfill everyone's. Especially when you see the very first time. Whatever you make prayer for, it will come true to you. while the brothers are standing in front of the stupa the oldest brother makes the prayer, May I become a dharma king in Tibet, The second one heard his brother prayer and said; “may I become a minister to support him to spread the dharma. The next one makes the prayer, May I be an abbot(a Learner) to pass on the dharma lineage of ordination in Tibet. and the next one makes prayer; may I become a very powerful Yogi, when there are obstacles to spreading buddha-dharma in Tibet.
