July - September 2024
After a few months, our team managed to complete and inaugurate the two planned stupas.
The first stupa - "STUPA OF ENLIGHTENMENT" is located on the land of the meditation-relaxation and healing centre KARMA KUNGHA PADKAR LING (Joyful Garden of White Lotus) in Ujezd nad Zbecnem.
The stupa symbolizes Buddha's enlightenment under the Bodhi tree. Its shape represents the Buddha sitting in meditation on a lion's throne. Preparations for its construction began in early 2024 and was completed in September under the leadership of Maniwa Sherab Gyaltsen Rinpoche. The inauguration took place on September 11, 2024. The stupa contains precious Buddhist relics including those of Buddha Shakyamuni.
The KKPL centre is still being completed for you, but we can arrange a visit together now :-)

Second stupa - "STUPA of VICTORY" is located in the garden of the NALA center in Tuchoměřice. It symbolizes the triumph of wisdom over ignorance and death. It represents the Buddha's victory over death, when at the request of his disciples he prolonged his life by three months. It was completed in early September under the direction of Maniwa Sherab Gyaltsen Rinpoche. The inauguration took place on Monday, September 16, 2024, shortly after the inauguration of the Enlightenment Stupa at KKPL. Precious relics, such as those of Buddha Kashyapa, were used in the construction. Both stupas were made of special artificial stone to ensure their durability for centuries.
To access the stupa, the garden gate will be open every weekday from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm.
We look forward to seeing you in the gardens of our centers :-)
