Enlightened Wisdom hasn't added a story.
The Stupa of Enlightenment was errected at the Land of Enlightened
Wisdom in Pomona, California in November 2013. This page is now
paused now and no longer active. Thank you for you contribution.
The Stupa of Enlightenment commemorates the defeat of Mara's
forces by Buddha Shakyamuni as he meditated under the Bodhi Tree in
Bodhgaya, India. The Stupa of Enlightenment is one of eight types of
stupas built in India after the passing of Buddha to commemorate the
major events of his life. The Stupa invokes the blessings from Buddhas
and Bodhisattva which can subdue the instability of society in the San
Gabriel Valley due to conflicts of political gridlock, serious crimes,
downfall of our society due to recession, illness and others.
Together with supporters, friends, and students, the process of
raising the funds began in February of 2013 to purchase of the stupa
to be built in Indonesia from lava stone and shipped to the United
States. Your contribution to this project can help benefit many
sentient beings that come in contact with the stupa or are blessed by
its effects.
Land of Enlightened Wisdom is a Buddhist Dharma center dedicated
to the study and practice of Buddhism. The center was established in
May 2010. Buddhist philosophy classes are offered each week without
charge and exists through contributions from students, friends and
supporters.
Your contributions are most powerful when made with the
intention to benefit all sentient beings.

WHAT IS STUPA?
A Stupa is a religious monument in which
the relics of a holy person such as Buddha Shayamuni are enshrined. A
stupa can be a reminder to future generations of the great teachers of
Buddhism and inspire them on the path to liberation.
BENEFITS OF STUPA?
Merely viewing the stupa can bring the
sense of well being, harmony and peace to one's mind. Erecting a stupa
can help with the purification of the environment and blessings to the
local community.
PRACTICES TO DO AT STUPA?
Circumambulation: Practitioners
walk clockwise around the stupa reciting mantras and prayers. This
practice is beneficial to the conscious and subconscious minds.
Contemplation: Meditation on verses of text studied in class near the
stupa can be very beneficial.
