The Stupa to Subdue Negative Forces was consecrated on September 5, 2002, at the isolated retreat center of Péma Osel Ling in the western United States. On completion of that ceremony, some of my spiritual brothers and sisters encouraged me to write the story of the stupa to inspire others’ confidence. Respecting their wishes, I, holder of the title Lama Tsédrup Tharchin, gathered the essential points and put them in context, in the wish that this text should prove entirely virtuous.
The Stupa’s Purpose
All sentient creatures in general, this world’s beings in particular, and especially those of us in this country and region yearn to overcome all obstacles, disharmony, and negative conditions, such as sickness, war, and famine. We wish our daily lives to progress untroubled, peaceful, joyful, and replete with the seven noble qualities of higher existences, glory and fortune in ever-increasing measure. Our ultimate goal is to gain eternal happiness—supreme reassurance of repose within the citadel of certain excellence. The master from Oddiyana knows past, present, and future stated in his transmissions:
Namdrol Pemay Gatsal
The Namdrol Pemay Gatsal (Lotus Grove of Liberation) at Pema Osel Ling is a mandala of the eight traditional types of stupas representing the eight miraculous events in the Buddha's life. In the center of the mandala is a Red Dorje Drolo stupa, which subdues negative forces and liberates upon seeing. Namdrol Pemay Gatsal is a holy place of pilgrimage for many generations to come.

To the degree that beings of the degenerate age sink into dense darkness,
Guru Padma’s compassion will shine with brilliant moonlight.
