The Stupa That Conquers All Directions that is being built at Karme Chöling honors the memory and wisdom teachings of the Venerable Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche. Filled with precious objects and relics of the Vidyadhara, this stupa will radiate the vision of basic goodness and enlightened society throughout our community and world. |
Contained within the stupa will be 108,000 tsatsas. Tsatsas are small plaster icons in the form of miniature stupas. Each tsasta has its own life force pole, a mantra rolled around a piece of incense and then wrapped in brocade. This mantra is inserted into each tsatsa during the hand-casting process.
The Karmê Chöling staff is currently in engaged in rolling the 108,000 mantras that will be needed for The Stupa That Conquers All Directions, and the wider sangha is invited to participate as well!
If you are interested in engaging in this practice, please join us at the Burlington Shambhala Center on Sundays, from 1:00-2:30 pm. It is a wonderful way in which you can contribute to the project and add a bit of your own energy and inspiration to the stupa.
