Supporting the 80 ft World Peace Stupa _ TSUM Valley Nepal

A special project of Geshe Tenzin Zopa - 'CTCT Compassion in Action' projects supporting this initiative ~

'In the Footsteps of the Mahasiddhas' Indian Pilgrimage - 2024-25, led by Geshe Tenzin Zopa and future fundraising pilgrimages to come....Next scheduled:

'In the Footsteps of Lama Serlingpa & Lama Atisha' Indonesian Pilgrimage  31 July - 15 August 2026

These 2 Pilgrimages have been fundraisers to sponsor a special project of installing 130 Shakyamuni Buddha Statues ( 10 in. height) around the base of the dome of the World Peace Stupa - each hand-carved from sandstone native to the area of Sarnath, Varanasi, India, where the Buddha turned the 1st Wheel of Dharma. 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
