Light of the Valley presenteert het inspirerende verhaal over de 15de renovatie van het Swayambu Stupa in Kathmandu, Nepal, herkent als een van de belangrijkste stupas in de Buddistische wereld. Beroemd voor z'n oudheid, zegening en kracht, is deze stupa al eeuwen aanboden door de mensen in Nepal en Tibet. Dezer dagen is het nog steeds een punt waar mensen vanuit alle richtingen komen om hun offers, hun gebeden en ceremnonies te houden.
Van de Gunda Foundation website:
"In 2008, Tarthang Tulku Rinpoche sent his daughter, Tsering Gellek to Nepal to direct the renovation, a project that is traditionally undertaken once in a century. With the help of 70 skilled artisans, in less than two years the project was successfully completed. Guna Foundation has produced a 30-minute documentary, Light of the Valley, chronicling this momentous achievement.
Light of the Valley reawakens an appreciation for sacred sites across the world. Since time immemorial, sacred sites have served as spiritual beacons to humanity, reminding us of our true purpose and potential in life. It is vitally important to maintain and protect sacred sites, for in preserving them, the precious knowledge of our human heritage may be preserved for generations to come."
