Stupa for the intention of Tomek


This is a special project that has touched many hearts.

Tomek’s energy sent during his lifetime to many hearts, came back reciprocated. We watched with emotion the convergence of many favorable circumstances, events and auspicious signs. We watched with amazement what was happening, as if a Plan was being realized that we would never have been able to create.
Everything was fulfilled! 🌈

On the full day, March 25, 2024, at the chapel of the Bialystok City Cemetery, Chaphur Rinpoche consecrated a stupa for Tomek’s intention.
From the bottom of our hearts, we thank Chaphur Rinpoche and everyone who became part of this beautiful initiative.

Stupa was placed on Tomek’s family grave in the Bialystok City Cemetery. May it embrace with its energy the entire neighborhood and the beings who inhabit it.

E MA HO! 🌈

Building stupas is a widespread tradition of Tibetan culture and an important form of sacred architecture. The main function of a stupa is to store relics. The symbolism of the stupa is extremely elaborate, but in the simplest terms, the stupa represents all the bon teachings in visible form, and contact with and encirclement of the stupa facilitates the attainment of enlightenment.
.
In Tibetan culture, post-mortem stupas are a common tradition to which both lay people and practitioners are subject. The process of creating such a stupa requires the involvement of a lama proficient in astrology and detailed calculations, the gathering of appropriate objects and substances, and finally the performance of a well-defined ritual. It is an excellent opportunity for practice and the accumulation of merit, not only for those associated with the deceased but for the entire local community or connected by ties of practice and participation in common religious ceremonies.
.
The purpose of building such a stupa on an individual level is to purify karma, negative energies and lay the groundwork for the accumulation of supportive circumstances and merit. This applies to the deceased person, as well as those involved at the level of material and spiritual support.
