 * Buddhist realizations and transformations take place in a sacred meditational space known as Mount Meru, or Sumeru. In Western-language literature, the Mount Meru system is often construed as the "Buddhist universe," but this description is misleading as it implies a singular phenomenon. The Mount Meru system is indeed an expression of Buddhist cosmology, but it describes structure of the cosmos.

Usage notes
Usually preceded by. is the same name, prefixed by su- ("splendid, wonderful"), but is sometimes used to distinguish the Buddhist traditions regarding the mountain from the Hindu and Jainistic ones.
