Mila's Soekhar Guthog

A man was inspired. He was motivated. He has the power and will. And the man is Lam Kezang. His power and determination are something we can’t measure. In 2007 he visited Milarepa Tower in Qinghai, Tibet. “Ever since I visited the Milarepa Tower in Qinghai in 2007, I have had a dream to build a similar tower (Sekargutok, or Nine-storied Tower) in Bhutan.”

DuDue to his immense aspiration to build a tower in Bhutan, the Royal Government of Bhutan approved a 5-acre site at Rigzinling, Sampheling Gewog, Phuntsholing, within Chukha dzongkhag.

AlThe architectural drawings and the access road to the site were completed. On 2^nd November, 2011, corresponding to the seventh day of the ninth month and the Rabbit Metal year of the Bhutanese calendar, the groundbreaking ceremony, or Salang Tendrel, was conducted by His Holiness Je Khenpo.

”We anticipate that, when finished, the Milarepa Tower will become an important spiritual center as well as a major tourism and cultural attraction.

To build such a Tower will earn great merit for all who participate.

Please give generously! May all be auspicious!” said Lam Kezang Tsheltrium.

The nine-story stupa Lord Milarepa last built was Soekargutok Stupa. It stands in its original position, symbolizing the unwavering faith Milarepa had in his teacher and Buddha dharma.

The merits of building stupas and monasteries are profound and vast and extremely immeasurable. Building a stupa-monastery in memory of the Drukpa lineage master, Lord Milarepa, is particularly significant. Contributing any amount, whether small or large, will earn us merits.
