Two thousand years ago, out of his deep devotion to the teachings of Buddha, King Ashoka of India constructed 84,000 stupas throughout his kingdom. 1000 years ago, Emperor Qianshu of China repeated the feat in China. The third attempt to construct 84,000 stupas is now! It will be accomplished not by a powerful emperor but by over 80,000 devoted lay and ordained Buddhists.
This meritorious project is coordinated by FJNET online (www.fjnet.com), the largest online Buddhist community in China, and supported by various Buddhist monasteries and communities. After two years of trial and error in designing and constructing a prototype of the stupa and the accompanying sacred objects, they are finally ready for sponsorship.
We have named the stupa as “The World Peace Auspicious Stupa” since the Mahayana Sutra “Casket of Secret Relic” and its sacred Dharani Mantra are embedded within. Offering and paying homage to this stupa will be equivalent to giving offerings to the sacred relics of the Buddhas past, present and future; creating unimaginable merits.
