A 53-minute Documentary Film DVD
Directed by Mark Elliott

EYE OF THE LAND tells the compelling story of the creation of the forty-two-foot high Tashi Gomang Stupa in Crestone, Colorado. A Stupa is a sacred architectural form which represents the awakened mind. It contains the sacred images, mantras and relics of great Buddhist teachers and powerfully transmits a direct experience of their wisdom, realization and blessings.

Formed over a period of seven years by a small group of dedicated volunteers, it is named “The Stupa of Many Auspicious Doors,” for the 84,000 paths to enlightenment that the Buddha described. The Tashi Gomang Stupa embodies His Holiness the XVI Gyalwa Karmapa, one of the foremost masters of Tibetan Buddhism. His Holiness the XVI Gyalwa Karmapa was the head of the Karma Kagyu Lineage of Tibetan Buddhism. After escaping from his homeland following the communist invasion, the Karmapa successfully re-established his monastic order in exile. In three visits to the West he was honored as a major spiritual leader of our time. Before he passed away in 1981, he came to the Sangre de Cristo mountains in Crestone.

The Karmapa envisioned this beautiful and remote location as an auspicious site for the continuation of the activities of his lineage and was given a grant of land. The Stupa – or Choten in Tibetan, meaning “the place to make offerings” – was built to consecrate this land. Now that the 17th Karmapa has begun to visit the United States, interest in this historic site has been renewed. The EYE OF THE LAND provides a rich introduction to the presence of the Karmpa’s lineage in the West.

“‘The Eye of the Land’ is a first class documentary and serves as a testament to accomplishment. This video should bring a light in the eye to anyone who sees it.”
