Lotus Stupa
Shaped as a lotus, it symbolizes pure birth, the unfolding of higher qualities of consciousness and the birth of the Buddha.
A circle of light around the world
108 Stupas
The Temple Complex of the Great Divine Mother of the World — the Temple of the Queen of the Universe — the Abode of Great Bliss — will comprise many sacred buildings. At its heart will be the mandala of five temples. Around this central mandala of temples, 108 stupas will stand in a circle, completing the sacred mandala of the Divine Realm on Earth.
If the Central Temple is the heart of the inner mandala, embodying the source of divine wisdom, love, compassion and creative power, then the surrounding stupas will form its outer field of blessing, peace, protection and spiritual transformation.
The stupas are sacred supports of awakened consciousness. Their presence harmonizes space, contributes to the pacification of the world on all levels of existence and creates favorable conditions for the spiritual development of all living beings.
Like light dispelling darkness, they continuously radiate blessing, inspiring countless beings to cultivate wisdom, compassion, nobility and inner awakening.
As long as the stupas endure, their beneficial influence continues to spread, bringing blessing to present and future generations alike. Each stupa becomes a source of spiritual power, preserving and transmitting blessing through time.
The construction of stupas is among the greatest noble deeds. Everyone who takes part in their creation — through work, offerings, knowledge, skill or sincere intention — becomes a participant in the creation of an inexhaustible source of blessing. The merit of such an act continues to grow for as long as the stupas bring benefit to living beings.
The 108 stupas will not merely frame the buildings of the Temple Complex architecturally. They will become its living spiritual field — a mandala of peace, blessing, protection and awakening surrounding the sacred space in all directions.
The Ring of 108 Stupas of the Temple Complex of the Great Divine Mother of the World
The composition is designed according to the principle of harmonious repetition: 9 different types of stupas are reproduced exactly 12 times, creating a unified sacred circle.
Each stupa represents a particular aspect of the spiritual path and carries its own symbolic meaning:

Within the architecture of the complex, these 108 stupas will form a single sacred circle — a space of contemplation, remembrance, wisdom and connection between different aspects of humanity’s spiritual path.
The circle of 108 stupas is envisioned not only as a traditional sacred element, but also as a universal symbol of the unity of wisdom, compassion and the many manifestations of the Divine within the Universe.
