The Stupa at the Crystal Castle is a Kalachakra Stupa, a rare sacred monument created to protect against negative energies. It is known as the World Peace Stupa, and its specific purpose is to restore balance to the earth in times of war, conflict and environmental destruction.
One of only seven in the world and the only stupa in the southern hemisphere, this amazing structure has been engineered to last 1,000 years. Tibetans believe that great benefit can be gained from walking clockwise around the Stupa. Indeed, the mere sight of a stupa is said to put you in touch with your own innate goodness, inspiring compassion, kindness and ultimately good karma.
