About Riwo Sang Chöd

Riwo Sang Chod literally means “Mountain Smoke Offering” and is one of the most powerful practices for cleansing the environment, increasing health and prosperity, and stimulating world peace and harmony.
Performed outdoors at the Stupa, the smoke offerings are transformed into inexhaustible amrita (medicine), that are visualized to emanate throughout space like massive clouds with vast desirable qualities that heal and benefit all beings. By purifying outer and inner elements we create auspicious circumstances to accumulate merit and wisdom, now and for the year ahead.

About the Amitabha Stupa and Peace Park

The Amitabha Stupa in Sedona, AZ contains millions of prayers, holy texts and sacred objects which have been fully consecrated. Amitabha is the Buddha of Infinite Light who purifies the delusion and suffering of attachment. Before attaining enlightenment, Amitabha Buddha vowed that anyone who recited his name at the time of death would be reborn in his pureland, Dewachen, where it is possible to attain enlightenment and return to the world to help free beings from suffering.
