Many eminent senior monks suggested that the summit of the hill of Dhammagiri Forest Hermitage, Brisbane would be a very suitable place for a stupa. A stupa that contains relics is an external focus to recollect the Buddha and his great disciples and gives people the opportunity to still pay respects to them after they have passed away. Our 2.9m high Saddhamma ("true Dhamma") Stupa, which is modeled after the corner towers of the Maha Bodhi temple in Bodhgaya was already built by a monastery in Thailand for us as a gift and is currently being shipped to Australia. Preparing the site of the stupa and organizing and building the color concrete patio on which the stupa will be placed is now our priority project before it arrives. The video shows the progress of the construction from 08th to 13th January 2025 Here a photo gallery of the construction progress on our website: https://www.dhammagiri.net/post/dhammagiri-stupa-project Any contributions towards the stupa project are very welcome and can be made via our donations page: https://www.dhammagiri.net/donate AUDIO PODCASTS In addition to these videos, we also publish about two new Dhamma talks and guided meditations every week as audio podcasts.
