Stupas activate harmonious forces

Stupas are symbols of enlightenment, a reminder of our human potential for awakening. Working with a Stupa, even being close to it, has a powerful effect. It transmits blessings and subdues negative forces.

These 186 Stupas, which are currently being produced out of terracotta clay, are replicas of Buddhist monuments. These Stupas, when completed, will surround one of the world’s most remarkable living Mandalas, at the heart of Odiyan Country Center. 

What the project offers:

  • Learning and developing new skills
  • Being part of a truly historic undertaking
  • Deepening your connection to spirituality
  • Becoming part of a like-minded community
  • Cultivating inner qualities, through concentration, responsibility, and awareness.
