1313. The Amitabha Stupa & Peace Park
Yes, Virginia, there is a Buddhist in Arizona . . . more than one apparently. Stupas like this one are like those located in Asia. Indeed, it is reminiscent of those constructed more than 2,500 years ago. Of course, this particular stupa is surrounded by verdant pines and smaller red spires.
It has been a popular tourist stop since 2004. This stupa is only 36 feet tall. You can visit any time between sunrise and sunset. Admission is free but donations are welcome.
