The 130 statues represent the years His Holiness the Dalai Lama pledged to live - and they are dedicated especially for His Holiness long life and World peace. We have raised AU$20,000.00 required to create, install, and transport the statues to Tsum Valley due to the kind generosity of each pilgrim who has joined us on these Pilgrimages to the sacred sites in India and Indonesia in the inspirational and blessed company of Geshe Tenzin Zopa ~ each Pilgrim will enjoy immeasurable merit due to these connections together - one family in our heart wish for peace and well-being for all under the valid and impecccable guidance of Geshe Tenzin Zopa
