A sanctuary for Buddhists & a great exposure to the way of the Buddhist culture & philosophy for non Buddhists.  I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to The Stupa. This was my second visit & the Stupa looks superb with the completion of the crown top since my last visit. The grounds surrounding the Stupa are peaceful & have sections devoted to other faiths. Entry is by donation & up at the Stupa a donation can be made to light some incense & place a candle on the alter. There is the facility to pray if you would like to.

An excellent relaxation area and cafe, helpful staff, and an informative visual presentation. It was one of the most peaceful places I have visited in a while. There is a sense of calm and serenity walking around the grounds. It almost gives you a sense of inner peace.

Lots to learn about other religion. Really inspiring to see the prayers embedded outside the temple. Cafe is also fantastic. The ambiance and the silence when having your coffee right outside the the cafe, overlooking the temple is just incomparable. The only improvement I can say is I hope the renovations in the temple gets finished soon as it takes away the authenticity and the mood inside.

Amazing structure amongst bushland. Beautiful statues. I admire what they are doing here. We were very excited that they serve vegetarian food, but to be honest it was not great. I was confused by the gardens as there were not many natives and what they are attempting to grow probably won't do well - I think they need an expert to plan their gardens.

Excellent experience, relevance to many cultures. Helpful staff, informative visual presentation, great relaxation area and cafe. New statues and relics being added regularly, so repeat visits are well worth it for both outdoor and indoor  enlightenment

Amazing temple that is usable even while still being built. I felt an amazing sense of calm during my visit even though there were literally hundreds of other visitors. The gardens are growing in magnificence further enhancing that overall sense of calm and peace. Definitely something you should see. One complaint small one... There were quite a few signs with no English translation and I find that a bit contentious and a bit unfair.

I wanted to see this jade Buddha made from a single large rock found in Canada. I was not disappointed. Firstly, the tranquil surroundings outside the Stupa itself was a big tick from me. I had misgivings about this place being overly commercialised and people walking in and out skin to any public attraction; but No. everyone I saw was respectful and mindful of where they were. This place has still a long way to go in terms of completion but the main building of the Great Stupa itself was about 75% completed. Walk around the gardens and soak in the peacefulness of the place. A rare commodity

One of the most peaceful locations I have visited in a very long time. The walk around the grounds feels calming and serene. It almost gives inner peace. The Stupa structure is stunning and peaceful. The cafe onsite is located at a good spot as from the seating area there is a great view of the Stupa.

You can enjoy looking and walking around the big area of land. Its a very diverse place and the staff will guide and help you if you need it. At the start of you tour you can watch a 6 minute video that explains how The Great Stupa of Universal Compassion was built, what you can do there and more!

Absolutely stunning place to visit. I'm not religious in any way but the peaceful feeling emanating from walking around the grounds is almost surreal. I understand it's an ongoing project and was quite unfinished when we visited but beautiful non the less. There is food available at the cafe vegetarian only or Bendigo is quite close.
