Stupa Garden now under construction!
The expert stupa builders have arrived
at Land of Arya Tara!
After the mammoth job of collecting all the stones required and trucking them and other materials to the site (see previous post on this blog), the platform for the stupa garden is being prepared, with a massive retaining wall at its edge. Then the major job of precisely building the base for the stupas was commenced this week.
