Lantern base, golden vajras, inspiration & prayers

With the 5th tier in place the construction workers were able to install the rest of the steel for the other four tiers and then place the structure for the lantern base on top.

Meanwhile, work continues apace with the gilding of the vajras, deer etc, and the base for the lantern tower, which is next to go on the structure.

Work has also started rolling the mantras to fill the large statues that will be placed in the temple.

To celebrate International Temples Day, the center organised a course at which Gen Rigpa gave profound teachings on the Request to the Lord of the Lineages prayer, with meditations guided by Gen Lingpur. People from Wisconsin, Arizona, California, Texas, England and Mexico were among those who attended.

Gen Lingpur also gave an inspiring talk on the ITP.

Those attending the event were able to watch the five tiers appear before their eyes!
