Amitabha Stupa and Peace Park

Kunzang Palyul Choling - Sedona, Arizona

KPC Arizona’s activity centers on the Amitabha Stupa and Peace Park in Sedona, Arizona. It is a beautiful outdoor venue and a spiritual destination for prayer, meditation, and the experience of peace in a sacred place. It was conceived of and built for people of all faiths.

The Amitabha Stupa and Peace Park came into being as a result of the vision of Her Eminence Jetsunma Ahkon Lhamo Rinpoche, Spiritual Director of Kunzang Palyul Chöling, a Buddhist organization committed to compassionate outreach. It has become a spiritual destination for prayer and meditation and a beloved place of peace and refuge for visitors from all over the world and residents of the Sedona area.

KEEP OR DELETE? The local KPC community holds Buddhist practices at the Amitabha Stupa and offers regular presentations about the 2500-year history and the profound spiritual benefits of stupas in general and the Amitabha Stupa in particular. Schedules change with the season and weather. You can visit the Stupa’s Facebook page to learn more, and keep abreast of practices, presentations, and other news.
