Jerrin Strenge - Ewam and the Garden of One Thousand Buddhas
Jerrin Strenge visits Arlee Montana where a zen garden with a thousand Buddha Statues dot the landscape.
The Garden of One Thousand Buddhas
In 2000, construction for the garden began by beginning the hand crafted of one thousand Buddha statues. They weren't finished, and the garden didn't open until 2011. Tibetan Buddha Master, Tulku Sang-ngag Rinpoche, founded the garden, saying that the landscape in Arlee, Montana, matched a prophetic dream he had of the garden in his youth, according to a book on the garden by Joanne Troxel. Now, the garden is open to all, bringing peace and hopefully a little wisdom to it's visitors.

Compassion between cultures | Namchak Khenpo | TEDxArlee
Khenpo, which means teacher, helps us consider the role of compassion when we encounter people of other cultures.
The brother and spiritual heir of Tulku Sang-ngag Rinpoche, the founder of The Garden of One Thousand Buddhas, Namchak Khenpo was born in Eastern Tibet in 1965. As a young monk, Khenpo studied all aspects of Buddhism, including ritual arts and chanting. Khenpo traveled to Mysore, India where he had the good fortune to meet His Holiness, Penor Rinpoche and begin studying at His Holiness’s Nyingma College, Namdrol Ling Shedra. He graduated after nine years as a Do-Ngag Rabjampa, Master of Sutra and Tantra, the highest academic degree. He spends his time in Nepal and as resident Abbot at Ewam Sang-ngag Ling in Arlee, MT.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at

A slide show of our time in Arlee, Montana. Some of the pictures were taken before Susan and the boys came out and were not necessarily taken in Arlee, but within about a 65 mile radius. We stayed with the Clinkenbeard family. They were amazing hosts!

Arizona's Chapel of the Holy Cross (Sedona, AZ) - Man Made Wonders of Arizona
Watch the better/edited version of this video here:
The Chapel of the Holy Cross is a Roman Catholic chapel built into the buttes of Sedona, Arizona, and is run by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Phoenix, as a part of St. John Vianney Parish in Sedona. The chapel was inspired and commissioned by local rancher and sculptor Marguerite Brunswig Staude, who had been inspired in 1932 by the newly constructed Empire State Building to build such a church. After an attempt to do so in Budapest, Hungary (with the help of Lloyd Wright, son of architect Frank Lloyd Wright) was aborted due to the outbreak of World War II, she decided to build the church in her native region. In 2007, Arizonans voted the Chapel to be one of the Seven Man-Made Wonders of Arizona. (wikipedia)

History
History of the Great Bouddhanath Stupa
There are many stories and legends concerning the origin and history of the great stupa. According to “Hidden Treasure of the Guru Padmasambhava” a widow named Ma Jhyazima aspired to make a great offering of the Boudha, using her hard earned saving as a poultry keeper, she approached the local king for permission and it was granted , on condition that she used an area of the land measuring the size of a single ox skin. However, Jhyazima cut the skin into thin strips and claimed the land enclosed from the strips lay end to end. This mere woman’s ambition to build such a magnificent monument offering to the Boudha caused much jealousy between the rich and powerful at the time . The jealous lord petitioned the king to stop the construction, but the king who had allowed this happen, replied – “Since permission to build has been given, it shall not be rescinded.” Thus the meaning of the stupa named Jhyarung Khashyor. The remaining work of the construction of Boudha stupa was completed by the four sons (Trisong Deuchen, Shanta Rakshita, Guru Padmasambhava, Bami Thiser), of Jhyazima. This legend is very much popular in Himalayan Buddhist society.
The earliest historical references to the Boudha Stupa are found in the Chronicles of the Newars. Firstly, Boudha is mentioned as one of the four stupas found by the Licchavi king Vrisadeva (ca.AD 400) or Vikramjit. Secondly, the Newars legend of the stupa’s origin attributes it to king Dharmadeva’s son, Manadeva as atonement for his un writing parricide Manadeva was the great Licchavi king, military conqueror and the patron of the arts who reigned ca.AD 464-505. Manadeva is also linked with the Swayambhu Chaitya of Gum Bahal. Thirdly, another great Licchhavi king Shivadeva (AD 590-604) is associated with Boudha by an inscription; he may have restored the Stupa. Finally in the archeological report of the 16th century Tibetan restorer, Sakya zangpo, there is an assertion that he discovered the Lichhavi king Amsuvarma’s relics in the Stupa
