Sukhavati Garden
An Outdoor Space for Meditatin
Sukhavati Garden is an open air temple located behind the Institute at Dhagpo Kagyu Ling.
This oasis is accessible to all and home to a variety of monuments that are supports for practice and wishing prayers.
- Un large granite stupas housing the relics of Mipham Chökyi Lodrö, the 14th Kunzig Shamar Rinpoche
- Eight golden stupas commemorating the great moments in Shakyamuni Buddha’s life
- Two Nepali style stupas in homage to Gendun Rinpoche and Lama Purtsela
- A large prayer wheel.
These supports for practice are designed to survive the ages and bring benefit for all those—Buddhist or not—who come to meditate or express positive wishes in their presence.
A circumambulation path was constructed and allows for connecting Dhagpo’s different historic sites with the garden. It is now possible to support the historical stupa, which has been restored, and the historic temple’s surroundings, which are in the early phases of renovation.

Consecration of the two stone stupas (fotos et live videos)
A day of homage and rejoicing in the inspiring presence of Lama Jigme Rinpoche, Guendune Rinchen, Lama Jampa Thaye and numerous practitioners gathered at Dhagpo to commemorate the 25th anniversary of Lama Guendune Rinpoche’s parinirvana.

Filling the last two stone stupas
The bases of the two stone stupas, recently arrived from Nepal, are filled in the early hours of the morning after sojong vows have been taken. Practitioners who have come to attend this stage accompany the preparations by meditating in the Sukhavati garden. To close, we recite Samantabhadra’s King of Aspiration Prayers. The bases are ready for August 15!
