The Story of the Amitabha Stupa, Sedona Arizona 1 | Page 37

“You do not have to believe in stupas just as you do not have to believe in the rain; it will come down naturally if there are the right conditions. So the benefit of the stupa happens quite naturally because of its structure and content. It is a manifestation of our true nature, beyond the confusion of words.” – Akong Tulku Rinpoche The Amitabha Stupa is a wish-fulfilling jewel. It is a source of refuge and radiates blessings to people of all spiritual traditions. Even animals are benefited by its profound grace. Visitors come to the Stupa bringing their hopes, dreams, visions and sorrows. They arrive every day—alone or with family, friends and pets—to sit quietly, pray, meditate, walk around the Stupa, make offerings and participate in ceremonies and celebrations. When they leave, they often express a renewed sense of hope, inspiration and promise. One traveler said being at the Stupa “felt like a homecoming—emotional, peaceful and empowering.” Another remarked, “It gives me hope to know the AmitabhaStupa is here. This visit healed my heart.” The Amitabha Stupa truly is a living presence of peace and love. It is here in this world for the benefit of all sentient beings. It is here for you.
