About the Vajrayogini Stupa
Stupas are incredibly blessed and powerful. Just seeing or making offerings to a stupa plants the imprints of enlightenment and opens the karma for deeper spiritual practice. Even animals near a holy stupa will be blessed and healed on many levels and ultimately take a better rebirth near the Dharma.
Our Vajrayogini Stupa is designed in the style of the Stupa of Enlightenment*.* Also known as Jangchub Chorten, it represents Buddha's achievement of enlightenment after sitting in meditation for 49 days under a pipal tree at Bodhgaya, India.
The Stupa was constructed in 2014 according to scriptural instructions, including the dimensions of every step to the traditional carvings that adorn the stupa, and consecrated by qualified monks from Gaden Monastery. In addition to the blessings of the stupa itself, it is filled with billions of Buddha images, mantras and holy items, including:

About Vajrayogini
A representation of complete Buddhahood in female form, Vajrayogini embodies the qualities of the Buddhas of the ten directions and three times. Her tantra is the most supreme among all the Highest Yoga Tantras. As our lives today are ruled by extreme lust, greed, anger and hatred, she uses these very forces to attract us and then transforms them into liberating energies.
Vajrayogini is particularly suitable for the people of our time because her practice helps to purify and transform desire, which is the current and most pervasive energy within samsara. In fact, she manifested specifically to pacify our self-created inner obstacles that are provoked by the outer environment we live in. Therefore, her blessings are very potent and powerful for this day and age.
