DIE DANCE HATERZ!!
There is misdirected link under the symbolism header. It directs to a specific landmark called Chinese Pagoda, though that particular use refers to Chinese pagodas in general. I am removing that link.Daviticus82 20:27, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Purpose of pagodas
While this articles is very informative on the history of pagodas, I would find it useful if someone could give an indication as to how a pagoda would be seen by a Buddhist. I presume that they are not just ornamental, so what is the symbolism - for instance what do the iron devices at the peak mean? There is mention in the article of pagodas originally being used to store Buddhist texts - how long did that continue? I've noticed that the internal ceilings of some pagodas are richly painted in bright colours, even though these can't be seen without artificial lighting. Does this have any purpose? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Scottwh (talk • contribs) 13:48, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
