Odiyan Retreat Center

COPPER MOUNTAIN TEMPLE

The Central Temple is the heart of the Odiyan Mandala. More than a building, more than a symbol, it contains in its structure and contents the seeds for comprehending the whole of the Buddhadharma.

Its three-tiered form presents to mind Dharmakaya, Sambhogakaya, and Nirmanakaya; Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha; the inner, outer, and hidden teachings and the ground, path, and fruit of realization.

Preserving ancient symbols of Tibetan Buddhist teachings, the temple is an offering to open new possibilities of understanding in our world.
