A simple mean to take part in the projectProject
The development of Sukhavati Garden is a multi-phase project, and its expansion is continuing.
The first phases consisted of:
- Initial project with the stupa of XIVᵉ Künzik Shamarpa, the large prayer wheel, the eight stupas, etc.
- Construction of the two stone stupas
- Landscaping around the stone stupas
- Landscaping the pond at the foot of the Institut
- Renovation of Dhagpo’s historic white stupa
The expansion of the Sukhavati Garden continues towards the historic Dhagpo temple with a new phase consisting of the renovation of the temple’s surroundings.
The project included rebuilding the paving, restoring the pond and the walls of the adjacent buildings, as well as renewing the surrounding landscaping.
Initially estimated at €182,000, the final cost came to €171,000.
Thanks to everyone’s generous support, the full amount has now been raised!

The Sukhavati Garden Continues to Grow
A meditation space centered around a new stupa is currently being created at the heart of the Institute’s Residences.
Open to all, this peaceful setting will feature what’s known as a Licchavi chaitya, a Nepalese-style stone stupa composed of a square base topped by a dome and crowned with a finial. Larger than the two existing stone stupas, it will complement and echo them in both style and spirit.
As a natural extension of the Sukhavati Garden, this project offers an opportunity to continue supporting the garden through a contribution toward the new stupa.
The final cost of the stupa and the surrounding landscape development is currently being determined.

How is the stupa financed?
As with the Institute and other projects at Dhagpo, the goal is to connect as many people as possible to those supports of practice through donations, however modest they may be. After all, the stupa is a support for practice that will last through the ages and bring benefit to all those—Buddhist or not—who come to circumambulate and make positive wishes.
