There had occurred a devastating earthquake in Taiwan on 21st September 1999. In this thousands of people were killed. The Venerable Master Ti Ching asked Kyabje, the Mindrolling Trichen, about how to preserve the memory of those who had lost their lives and to pacify nature so that such disasters do not occur in his country. Kyabje Mindrolling Trichen advised Ti Ching to build the largest stupa possible in Taiwan. Since the building of such a stupa in Taiwan was not possible, Ti Ching sponsored its construction in India. Thus the Great Stupa for World Peace was built at the Mindrolling monastery in India which is considered one of the world’s largest stupas and a magnificent example of Buddhist art and architecture.
