Tiers From Tibet

The Documentary Film about the building of The Great Stupa of Universal Compassion at Atisha Buddhist Centre, in Bendigo, Australia. The stupa will be the same size and design as the Great Stupa of Gyantse (Gyantse Kumbum) in Tibet. This will make it the largest stupa in the western world.

This one-hour documentary will witness the building of the Stupa from the laying of the first stone to the last. It will examine the significance of this event against the backdrop of a cultural heritage that is facing extinction.

A little kid
stranded,
growing up in a
country town
he hates.
The locals reckon
it's a paradise,
but as far as
he can see,
the only
interesting stuff
happens to a guy
the whole town
dismisses as a fuckwit...
