Chenrezig Institute - Stupa Prices

The stupas shown below are available for placement in the Garden of Enlightenment Project at Chenrezig Institute or for use in temples and private homes. Stupas for outdoor use are made from a waterproof product but should ideally be protected from direct weather. All large stupas come with a “life tree” statue and the appropriate mantras. All stupas are consecrated and covered in a durable, protective coating.

Sites withinin the Garden of Enlightenment range in price from $300 AUD to $700 AUD, depending on location within the Garden. Protective covers and roofs are together $350 AUD. Stupas sited within the Garden's exterior must be installed with protective covers. Site prices include a decorative pedastal and labelling.

Niches on Roof

Ashes can be placed in niches below the stupas on the roof. Site, decorative tile and plaque all inclusive: $1000 AUD.

Additional Opportunities for Merit and Sponsorship of the Project

Most of the internal and external walls will feature special gold tiles of protective deities and stupas. These can be sponsored for $20 each with the sponsor's name on the back of the tile, or $100-$200 in the main entrace room for 24 carat gold leafed tiles, with the sponsor's name on a special plaque (these tiles can be dedicated to loved ones if desired). Please note, half of the money raised from these tiles will be offered towards the building of the Maitreya Statue in India.

Prayer Wheels

Under the veranda, surrounding the main building of the Garden will be approximately 108 prayer wheels, each containing over 6.5 million mantras. These can be sponsored for $1000 AUD each with the sponsor's name displayed below the prayer wheel. Prayer wheels are available for private gardens for $1750 AUD, and are available in the colours blue, red, yellow, white and green. The wheels are approximately 60cm in height and 35cm in diameter. They are finely constructed with stainless steel fittings for long life. Prayer wheels can also be dedicated to deceased persons.
