<h3>Modern Gorinto</h3>
<p>Famen Si, Xi'an
<p>
This modern <a href=./../../asianartglossary.html#gorinto>gorinto</a> (memorial stupa) is located in an underground chamber near the Famen Si museum. Its form represents the "five elements" (earth, water, fire, air, void) of esoteric Buddhist cosmology. For another example, see: Japan's <a href=./../../japan/magaibutsu4.html>Magaibutsu Shrine</a>.
