The Zuni Mountain Stupa, in the Zuni Mountains of northern New Mexico, is built in the Dudul Chörten, "subduing of negative forces" style, to stop the cycles of ignorance and violence, and to broadcast beneficial conditions for the establishment of peace and well-being.
| | The stupa is the vision of the Bhakha Tulku Rinpoche, under whose guidance it was built by Vairotsana Foundation NM, a Buddhist sangha in the Nyingma tradition. Situated on a high mountain meadow on the retreat land known as Ösel Khandro Duwi Ling, “The Gathering Place of the Dakinis,” it is fifty feet high, and is a quiet place of peace and refuge, a place for meditation, practice, and retreat. The stupa was consecrated on September 5, 2009.
