BENEFITS AND PRACTICES RELATED TO STATUES & STUPAS part 2: Building and Blessing Holy Objects



More than 2,500 years ago, Shakyamuni Buddha revealed an inconceivably powerful method for awakening and bringing peace and prosperity to the world: building holy objects. The first volume of this series, entitled Benefits and Practices Related to Statues and Stupas: Part I, presented why holy objects like statues and stupas have such a powerful effect.

This great handbook, part 2, gives you the tools you need to create a holy object yourself, including tips from stupa builders, architectural drawings, photographs, and ritual texts needed for building, filling, and blessing a statue or stupa. This book empowers you to create new places of pilgrimage and peace, for the benefit of the entire world. Spiral-bound for ease of use.

"A holy stupa is a way to benefit sentient beings without words. It will liberate beings from samsara in silence. To have such a holy object existing in a country makes [that country] very rich and very lucky. Many people will come to visit for pleasure as tourists, but it will at the same time make their life meaningful. That is the main function of these holy objects--to help us sentient beings have quick realizations of the path to enlightenment by the power of the holy object."--Lama Zopa
