Kalachakra stupa

The museum also features some of the original stele and marble carvings from the original Stupa.According to Vajrayana traditional sources the Buddha taught Dharma at Dhanyakataka and conferred the Kalachakra ceremony on selected disciples, which would take the antiquity of the Amaravati Stupa back to 500 BCE.

In Vajrayana Tantrism, Dhanyakataka (Amaravati) is considered a very important place in regard to the revelation of the Kalachakra tantra.

[5] There is a Kalachakra stupa near the border of the old Tibet, built to protect against negative energies from outside the country.

[2] It is located in a Diamond Way Buddhist (Karma Kagyu) centre, and designed by Woitek Kossowski, who was the architect of the project.

The relics were provided by the Dalai Lama, and the venerable representatives of the five Tibetan Buddhist lineages and other important masters.

The project was initiated when Wendy Cook was the director of the Center and completed after Nick Ribush took over from her September 2008.

The artistic director was Kurukulla's interpreter, Thubten Damchoe, and the Center's resident teacher, Geshe Tsulga, gave valuable advice.

[9] Kalachakra World Peace Stupa was opened to the public at a solemn ceremony at the Crystal Castle, Mullumbimby near Byron Bay in Australia on 27 October 2012.

It is known as the World Peace Stupa, and its specific purpose is to restore balance to the earth in times of war, conflict and environmental destruction.
