The Great Stupa of Universal Compassion

Nestled in Bendigo's bushland, the Great Stupa of Universal Compassion stands as the largest Buddhist monument in the Western world, mirroring the Great Stupa of Gyantse in Tibet. At nearly 50 meters tall and 50 meters wide, it houses the Jade Buddha for Universal Peace, the world's largest gem-quality jade Buddha statue. Visitors can explore the stupa's exhibition center, featuring over 100 sacred Buddhist relics, and enjoy guided tours that delve into Tibetan culture, architecture, and art. The on-site StupaView Café offers a serene spot to relax and reflect.
