The Universal Peace Sanctuary aspires to be the first global peace center. It is being built at the birthplace of Buddha (Lambini, Nepal) and includes an education facility, assembly hall, meditation rooms, museum and library.
The “Gift of One” Campaign
Our goal is to inspire peace within humanity and have as many people as possible contribute to building the Universal Peace Sanctuary. Support this sacred project with one positive thought, one prayer for peace, ONE dollar!
In 2013, the Nepalese government entrusted His Eminence Shyalpa Tenzin Rinpoche and his charitable organizations in the United States and Asia with the task of developing a “temple of peace” in Lumbini, Nepal, the birthplace of the Buddha. The Mahasiddha Sanctuary for Universal Peace is now under construction at this sacred site in Lumbini.
The Mahasiddha Sanctuary will honor the Enlightened One’s fearless engagement and compassionate action in our world for the benefit and welfare of all sentient beings. It will serve as a radiant beacon, helping to inspire and guide individuals, communities, and nations toward peaceful coexistence and reconciliation. His Eminence envisions the Mahasiddha Sanctuary for Universal Peace as the ideal spiritual destination and pilgrimage site for people of every race, color, and creed.
The sanctuary’s stunning and uniquely modern design incorporates traditional Buddhist symbols: 1) a lotus flower, symbolizing purity and the blossoming of enlightened qualities 2) a butter lamp, symbolizing the five wisdoms, 3) an offering mandala, symbolizing accumulation of merit 4) and a stupa, symbolizing the mind of enlightenment.
Shyalpa Tenzin Rinpoche: “The jewel that is the Enlightened One’s birthplace is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the pride of Nepal. This spiritual treasure will draw visitors from near and far to experience the depth of Himalayan spiritual and cultural traditions. It is my sincere aspiration that the blessings of Lumbini continue to extend far beyond the borders of Nepal, so that all of humanity may benefit from the spirit of generosity, compassion, and good heart.”
Former Secretary-General of the United Nations, Ban Ki-Moon: “I am awestruck by the beauty and profound significance of this site, the birthplace of the Lord Buddha. I sincerely hope that we can learn from his lessons, from his teachings and his philosophy to bring peace, stability, harmony, reconciliation, and friendship among people of different beliefs, different religions and cultures. This is exactly what human beings should promote and pursue for a better world, a more peaceful, more prosperous world.”
