My very dear one,
Regarding the type of stupa, I checked and what comes out best is the stupa of Namgyalma (a long-life stupa). It can be dedicated to the long life of His Holiness the Dalai Lama and for success of all His Holiness’s wishes. You can write to His Holiness when the stupa is completed to let him know of the dedication of the stupa.

The stupa can also be dedicated for all those who do good by supporting the Sangha—those who teach the Dharma and spread the Dharma—for their success. Dedicate for all the benefactors who support the Dharma, all the Kopan monks and nuns, the Western Sangha (monks and nuns) and all the Sangha in the different parts of FPMT around the world. Dedicate for all my benefactors, who help to actualize the Dharma work, for their success.

Dedicate for all the people who do good things for others, including: Sonu Sood, the Indian actor who helped the poor in India at the critical time of COVID-19 spreading; Tsewang Gyatso, who helped many poor people on the road; and Kulman Ghising, the head of the Nepal Electricity Authority. He is very dedicated to the Nepali people and very, very kind to them. I invited him for lunch to thank him and also the Kopan monks thanked him. Also, dedicate for Dr. Govinda K. C., the doctor who built a public hospital for the poor in Nepal; MacKenzie Scott, the American lady who gave many billions of dollars for food during this COVID time in the USA; Lady Gaga, who helps many people; and Richard Gere, who helps Tibet and His Holiness the Dalai Lama.

Dedicate for all those people like butchers and those who harm to sentient beings, so that they can meet the Dharma and abandon the cause of suffering and generate only good actions.

Then dedicate the stupa to numberless sentient beings, for everyone to be free from suffering and for them to achieve enlightenment. So, the stupa is for everyone.

This is what you should write down, so that whoever comes to the stupa can see what it was dedicated for. It is for everyone, to achieve peerless happiness!

I have a project to build 108 stupas in Ladakh, to restore the old stupas there. It hasn’t yet started yet but when it starts, if you can help with this project and in the future you can visit the stupas. The other project I want to start in Ladakh is an animal sanctuary. I’m hoping I can do that when I go there in the future.

The people living near the monastery are very poor, so we need to build a place for them, and then we can help them to think according to Dharma, and maybe we can also build a prayer wheel and stupa for them to create merit. This is such an easy way to create merit. We can help them live their life according to Dharma. I have many projects like this one, which is just in Ladakh.

Kopan monastery can help you with what has to go inside the stupa. This work is very, very important. You need to put all the correct holy things inside, like mantras, etc. You can also get the details from the books I have written on this. We have an explanation in the stupa books, showing how to fill them, etc. Do you have those books? If not, it’s very important to read them first, to get the correct instructions. [Find links to Statues and Stupas PDFs in the FPMT Catalogue.]

We have just finished a 160-foot stupa in Australia.

I will pray that you will have success and no obstacles. It’s unbelievable that you plan to build this stupa. This will give happiness to many sentient beings—those in the water, on the land and in the sky. It brings them ultimate happiness too. The world has so many problems now, therefore it is so, so, so, so good to build a stupa!

With love and prayers for all the success ...
