World Peace Stupa Center Winterswijk
After nearly 20 years, the dream of having a Nyingma retreat center between the two Nyingma City Centers in Amsterdam and Cologne is coming true. It now comes with the unique opportunity to build a World Peace Stupa.
The board of the WPSCE has signed a preliminary purchase agreement for a beautiful property at Kreilweg 1 in Winterswijk Woold. Two conditions must be met by March 1 to make the agreement definitive: 1. the municipality of Winterwijk reacts positive to our request to build a stupa and 2. we will have acquired the necessary funds. If these are met, the new stupa center will open in october 2025!
New Foundation
Together, the Nyingma Centers in Germany and the Netherlands have established a new, independent foundation under the spiritual guidance of Tarthang Tulku: the World Peace Stupa Center Europe Foundation. This foundation will establish the Stupa Center Winterswijk.
Update of the fundraising campaign
To finance the purchase of the property at Kreilweg 1 we need approximately €1.4 million and we are really happy and grateful that with the help of so many of you we are almost there. Just recently, it came out that our aspiration to buy 2 ha of additional land will become possible. Since this land is essential for our vision of a food forest, kitchen garden, spots for meditation, rest and just a sense of more space, we thought it best to include the land, costing €160,000, in an updated financial coverage plan amounting to €1,56 million in total. We would be delighted for your understanding and further support.
Property at Kreilweg 1: €1,4 million
- Mortgage bank loan: €700,000 (in negotiation)
- Private loans realized before campaign: €290,000
- Extra private loans: €90,000 (realized €80,000, still required €10,000)
- Donations: €120,000 (realized €111,448, still required €8,552)
- Bond loan: €200,000 (realised €159.000, still required 41,000)
Extra land of 2 ha: €160,000
- Extra private loans: €80,000 (new, still required €80,000)
- Donations: €80,000 (new, still required €80,000)
We want to make this happen with our community, friends, and family. Join us by participating in a gift community with a monthly donation. Or by buying a bond of € 1000 or € 5000. If you participate with € 5000 or more, we happily invite you to a wonderful 2-night stay as a gesture of appreciation.
It’s good to know that supporters are always welcome to join our center’s activities and stay overnight in our extra volunteer sleeping facilities!
