The Story of the Amitabha Stupa, Sedona Arizona 1 | Page 32

Sealing the Stupa On a blustery day in April 2004 with 30-mile-per-hour gusts the 800-pound, sevenfoot-tall bronze spire was gently lowered onto the Stupa, with the Tree of Life in its center. Mantras were stacked around the sok-shing as far as possible into the spire. Capping the Amitabha Stupa with the spire sealed the last of the inner chambers. It was a day of great rejoicing.
