New Look for the Kalachakra Stupa.

2009 is the 15th anniversary of the building of the Kalachakra Stupa at Karma Guen. Since Lopon Tsechu Rinpoche, Lama Ole and Hannah Nydahl and thousands of friends from all around the world inaugurated the stupa in October 1994, a lot of things have happened at Karma Guen. Every year we have been trying to improve and make the place around the stupa really inviting
for visits and meditation. Every year several thousand local people from the towns around also come to visit the stupa. And the surrounding schools and colleges have made a yearly visit a part of their education about culture and religion.
Therefore, at the beginning of 2009, we decided to exchange the messy small white stones surrounding the stupa with a beautiful terrace made of natural stone. For more than a month practically all visiting friends helped collecting stones at the nearby lake and river. More than 10 tons where used to create this masterpiece now surrounding the stupa. We would really like to thank everybody who participated and helped in the work.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
