The recently completed "Great Stupa of Dharmakaya which Liberates Upon Seeing" adds a new dimension to the community as its breathtaking effects attract approximately 300 visitors weekly. |
|
Many people come from all corners of the nation to see the outstanding piece of Buddhist architecture. |

The stupa represents the Buddha himself, sitting in meditation posture -- his legs being the steps, the round part his torso and the small square his head. He is crowned by 13 golden spires and a sun, crescent moon and jewel. |

The accuracy and precision are expressed through the quality of artwork and craftsmanship. |
