History

The construction of a Stupa – symbol of the unlimited mind of an enlightened being – goes back to the time of Buddha Shakyamuni, who has encouraged his students to built such kind of monuments in auspicious places, such as the places of Buddha’s birth, enlightenment, first teaching, death or parinirvana.

He taught that performing spiritual practices in the presence of stupas would have the same effect has making offerings to Buddha himself, and in this way the power of any practice performed in front of a Stupa would be amplified.

Indeed, a Stupa built in blessed places like these increases in an unlimited way the spiritual power and provides enormous benefit for all those that visit it.
