A new stupa at Dhagpo Kundreul Ling
We are pleased to share with you news of the construction of a new stupa, the first in twenty-five years. This Nepalese stone stupa is in the Newari style, like those that adorn the Sukhavati garden at Dhagpo Kagyu Ling. Built below the Mahāmudrā Ling retreat centre, its purpose is not only to protect the site, but also to support, through the merit accumulated, the gradual resumption of practice times and retreats at Dhagpo Kundreul Ling.
Below you will find an illustrated timeline of the important stages in the construction and consecration of the stupa, which will be updated regularly.
