Buddhist Temple – Benalmádena Stupa

benalmadena-stupa

The path to enlightenment is easy to find in Benalmádena. The Benalmádena Stupa is a wonderful place to get a gorgeous view on the sea. Much is lit at night on the Costa del Sol, but who is looking for the inner enlightenment, should visit the 33-meter high building of the Enlightenment Stupa. A stupa is a monument that should embody the Buddha’s presence on Earth, and the triumph of enlightenment over ignorance, that expresses the origin of suffering.

Ceremonies, Meditation And Drinking Coffee

You´ll  find regular meditations and other spiritual meetings and sessions there. The stupa can be visited admission free. The Stupa is financed by a cafe and a small shop on site. For the inauguration of the largest Western Stupa over 2,000 Kagyu came from 38 countries to Benalmadena Pueblo, to celebrate the opening of the Buddhist temple.
