German term or phrase: Chörten
Kann mir jemand weiterhelfen, wie der Ausdruck *Chörten* auf Englisch wiedergegeben werden kann. Er taucht in einem Text über tibetanische Thangkas auf, s.u.
Vielen Dank!

Der Chörten oder Stupa
Der Chörten/Stupa* ist ein Hauptsymbol des Buddhismus.
Über der Spitze des Chörten/Stupa befindet sich eine Mondsichel, in der eine Sonnenscheibe liegt. Die höchste Stufe des Bewusstseins wird hier als die Überwindung der Dualität angesehen. In der Mitte des Chörten, auf blauen Grund, das tibetische „OM“.
Chörten: Tibetische Bezeichnung

agree Stephen Sadie: ok but my englsih versions also had the umlaut, you were quicker!//i found more with an umlaut

  -> Thanks. It's funny that there are two ways of writing accepted in English. The question is, has it got an Umlaut in the Tibetian language?

agree BrigitteHilgner: The asker should have been able to find the answer him-/herself - a few seconds of googling are sufficient.
