The ceremonial opening of the first Buddhist Stupa of Enlightenment located in the territory of the future Buddhist Temple Complex “Tupden Shedubling – The Center for Studying and Practicing Buddha’s Teachings” in the Otradnoe sub-district of the North-Eastern Administrative District (SVAO) took place in Moscow on September 16, 2017.
At 10:30 a.m., Buddhist monks from Buryatia, Kalmykia, as well as from Thailand, Myanmar and Sri Lanka began a ritual service of the Stupa consecration. The service was led by Kundeling Tatsak Rinpoche XIII, the well-known Buddhist personality, the Tibetan lama from India. Upon the end of the consecration, the monks headed by Kundeling Rinpoche practised the Kora – a three-time ritual circumambulation around the Stupa. The Kora was also joined by believers.

The sacred Buddhist month of Saga Dawa, the fourth month of the Tibetan lunar calendar, started on May 26th.
During the entire holy month, Buddhists are in practice of all methods of accumulating merits: they devote more time to spiritual disciplines, take Mahayana vows and Bodhisattva vows, make the pilgrimage to holy places, make the practice of Kora around temples, stupas, bring offerings to monastic communities and the poor. The month of Saga Dawa lasts until June 24th.
