Description
The Amitabha Stupa and Peace Park in the stunning red rock country of Sedona, Arizona, is a place for meditation and spiritual renewal. Situated on 14 pristine acres at the base of imposing Thunder Mountain, the land is deemed holy by native peoples. In it's simplest form a stupa is a dome-shaped structure erected as a Buddhist shrine.
According to Lillian Too, world-renowned Feng Shui master, the land is perfect for its intended purpose, spiritual transformation and healing through the extraordinary sacred architecture and geometry of the stupa.
Kunzang Palyul Choling under the direction of its spiritual director Jetsunma Ahkon Lhamo, has built two stupas here , The Amitabha Stupa and the Tara Stupa. The fully empowered and consecrated stupas sit majestically among the pinion and juniper pines, surrounded by a garland of crimson pinnacles of Sedona Red Rock.
While not a religious person I love to photograph places of worship as they almost always convey a feeling of peace, tranquilty, and calm as well as usually being beautiful structures. This was especially true of the Stupa.
Here we see a few of the many prayer flags flying from trees on the grounds.
