Thames, Coromandel Peninsula, New Zealand · 1997
Tararu Retreat Centre on the Coromandel Peninsula was the site where, on 16 February 1997, Sangharakshita enshrined a portion of Dhardo Rimpoche's ashes in a newly built stupa. Dhardo Rimpoche — one of Sangharakshita's most important Tibetan teachers in Kalimpong — was thus honoured in the southern hemisphere, connecting the old world of the Himalayas with the new world of the FWBO.
