hard work
The monks are busy packing the goods into the stupa.
The 8 meter high World Peace Stupa (kalachakra Stupa) has been built by the Gyuto Monks of Tibet plus local contracters under control of building designer and project manager Alok Eggeuberger. It has been built with traditional design and high tech glass reinforced concrete, to serve as a time capsule to last at least 1000 years.
Before the top was lowered on and the stupa sealed it had to be filled with relics and a variety of written prayers and other goods, blessed by the Dalai Lama. We had to carry it all to the stupa. People from all walks of life chipped in, elderly, children. We formed a human chain to carry the goods up the scaffolding where the monks lowered all into the Stupa.
A very special day.
