In this episode, we travel in our converted Ford transit campervan, with our dog, to Bendigo, Victoria, and visit The Great Stupa. A stupa (also known as a pagoda) is the most sacred building in Buddhism. A stupa symbolises the enlightened mind and the path to enlightenment. A stupa is also a reliquary to house holy relics of the Buddha and other highly realised beings. The Great Stupa of Universal Compassion, in Bendigo, is 50 metres square at its base and nearly 50 metres high. This makes it the largest stupa in the Western World. The Great Stupa is the same design and size as the Gyantse Stupa (Kumbum) in Tibet. Objectives of The Great Stupa of Universal Compassion: To inspire people to seek a peaceful and spiritual path. To be a pilgrimage place for Buddhists from around the world. To provide a refuge of peace and serenity for all and especially those in need. To help explain Buddhism to anyone interested. To provide a temple venue for major teaching events and seminars. To be of service to as many beings as possible. The Gompa (temple) inside the Stupa has many features, including a traditional large Tibetan gompas, large statues of Buddhas and deities. The Gompa will be used for pujas, meditation, and teachings. It is also designed to present an overview of Buddhism to visitors. There’s beautiful gardens that surround the Stupa and the Peace Park showcases symbols from many faiths including Catholic, Sikh, Islam, Hindu and Buddhist.
