view of stupa
This proposed Stupa will be of unprecedented importance, helping to ensure peace and prosperity by quelling the myriad sufferings of our modern times.

Bodhivastu will have the power to herald in a new era of ultimate wisdom, peace, and brother- and sisterhood. Bodhivastu will be constructed on consecrated ground with a pure motivation of inclusiveness. It will be made with perfect proportions and contain sacred consecrations, universal prayers, and several major Buddhist relic troves of past saints, extending back to Kashyapa Buddha.

The blessing waves that emanate from the sacred relics of great beings of peace, those who have passed beyond confusion, have the power to pervade all realms when properly enshrined in such an enlightened architecture. By our pure intention, these blessing waves will reach out throughout the world, anchoring our pure intention for peace and prosperity for all.

The goal is to make Bodhivastu of a similar size to Borobudur Stupa in Indonesia (over one hundred yards on each side) and bigger than Bodhanath Stupa in Nepal.

Unlike many other monuments, Bodhivastu will be made possible by virtuous donations from people of good will, worldwide, who wish peace and happiness for all beings. People of any manner of belief or religion will come together to achieve this common purpose.
