Is it a lighthouse? No, this is the Stupa. It stands as a beacon of peace at the Geneva International Buddhist Centre. The centre was founded in 1992 by Venerable Dr. Tawalama Dhammika. It’s a haven for those seeking spiritual tranquillity in the heart of the city. This Stupa, along with three majestic Buddha statues and two sacred Bodhi trees, graces the centre’s grounds. The centre draws not only the Sri Lankan community but also individuals from Switzerland and other parts of Europe. They come to experience the teachings and practices of Theravada Sri Lankan Buddhism. Take a moment to appreciate the serenity of the Stupa. It’s a reminder of the peace that can be found within.
