Restoring Sacred Places 

The Swayambhu Stupa in Kathmandu, Nepal is recognized as one of the most important stupas in the Buddhist world. Renowned for its great antiquity, blessings and power, this stupa has been worshipped continuously through the centuries by the people of Nepal and Tibet. It remains a focus of daily offerings, prayers and ceremonies today.

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 seventy skilled artisans, in less than two years the project was successfully completed. Guna Foundation has produced a thirty-minute documentary, Light of the Valley, chronicling this momentous achievement.

Sacred sites serve a deeply human need for a place of refuge and tranquility. Light of the Valley inspires us to revive and protect these living treasures.

Late Night Visitors As the documentary came to completion, seemingly out of thin air, three Thai monks walked into the production studio. They greeted the team and expressed their gratitude for Guna’s work. Before they left, they blessed the film with a beautiful chant and posed for a photo with our small movie brochures.
