The Chorten or Stupa was inbuilt 1945, by the Ven. Trulshi Rinpoche, head of the Nyingma order of Tibetan Buddhism to invoke the Gods to maintain peace and tranquility within the State. It rises like an important white bell surmounted by a golden pinnacle. Throughout the Chorten is an entire Mandala set of Dorjee Phurba (Bajra Kilaya), a set of Kan-gyur relics (holy books), full ‘Zung’ (mantras) and varied different objects of immense non secular worth. 108 Mani-Lhakor or prayer wheels have been put in across the Chorten. A flight of steps leads right down to a Chapel, the place the red-robed students chant to the beats of a drum earlier than the imposing statues of the incarnate trainer, Guru Rimpoche (Padmasambhava).
