Dhamma is one type of Cetiya. There are four types of cetiya. 1. Dhātu Cetiya (Relic Shrines) 2. Paribhoga Cetiya (Association Shrines) 3. Dhamma Cetiya (Doctrinal Shrines) 4. Uddesika Cetiya (Indicative Shrines) [Cetiya - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cetiya) [Letter From The Heart – Dhammacetiya – The Ancient Sacred Buddhist Scripture Stupas](https://dhammacetiya.com/letter-from-the-heart/) [Notes on Stupas and Other Sites of Pilgrimage - Dhamma Writings](https://www.watnyanaves.net/en/book-reading/528/4) [The Various Types of Pagoda (Cetiya) | buddhismforbeginnersgroup](https://buddhismforbeginnersgroup.wordpress.com/2016/04/10/title-the-various-types-of-pagoda-cetiya/) [Building for Buddha – Buddhist Education Centre](https://buddhisteducationcentre.org.au/building-for-buddha/) When we build for Buddha this can also be the case because, when done correctly, building can be a practice which makes not only new buildings; but new minds and kamma to have refuge in Buddha, Dhamma, Sangha. ---

One of the latest things I added to Buddhist Sun was a compass that guides you to find the direction of various Buddhist Cetiya. When I was without a Buddha, I recalled how Muslims know where Mecca is. Yet I did not know where Bodhgayā was. So, I added this a few years ago as a separate app. Because of the difficulties of upgrading apps to meet the app store standards, I merged it with Buddhist Sun and added more compass and time functions to it. Enjoy! ![image](https://classicaltheravada.org/uploads/default/original/2X/0/0503e30eb66d570dcbaefed657926c18ce2d6671.jpeg)
