Stupas are the focus of prayer and pilgrimage. Just to see a stupa, or walk around it mindfully can purify the results of lifetimes of mistakes. It is said that "To even simply hear the word "Buddha" or to create any link, tenuous though it may be, with any representation of the Buddha's body, speech and mind can plant the seed of liberation, and in the end will lead to the state beyond suffering

Main Challenge to the project is transportation. Building materials have to be transported by yak and horses and thus increases the cost and require longer time . Work cannot continue during the cold season.
