The Great Stupa of Universal Compassion
The Great Stupa of Universal Compassion is a not-for-profit organisation. The idea to build a Great Stupa was the vision of Lama Thubten Yeshe. The idea to base the design of the stupa on the Great Stupa of Gyantse, was the vision of Lama Zopa Rinpoche. Lama Yeshe and Lama Zopa were the founders of the Foundation for the Preservation of the Mahayana Tradition.
