The Jangchub Chorten Stupa was constructed to very precise specifications and filled in the traditional way with tens of thousands of tsa-tsas (a miniature replica of a stupa containing relics of the Buddha, and mantra scrolls). Relics of Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche and many other great masters were placed inside, along with sacred texts from the Buddhist canon.

The Kalachakra Stupa is a commemoration of world peace and harmony. In 1999 the Dalai Lama presided over an eleven day initiation ceremony for this beautiful Stupa.
