H.E. Khempo Rinpoche believed that the ODN land on Mt. Shasta was
very important, and because Mt. Shasta was a sacred mountain, ODN should
build a Stupa there. In the light of Khempo Rinpoche's passing, it seems
particularly fitting to build a Stupa in Khempo Rinpoche's honor.
Therefore, we are announcing the initiation of the 'Mt. Shasta Stupa'
project.
Khempo Rinpoche often spoke of utilizing the skills and experience of
friends and monks in Bhutan to plan the design and requirements of the Stupa.
In addition, Khempo Rinpoche had further discussed the possibility of erecting
other structures, such as a meditation center, and of adding garden paths, etc.
In the coming year, we will be putting together a plan for the Mt. Shasta land,
including the Mt. Shasta Stupa, and will update the website as this information
becomes available.
