The meditation centre belongs to the "Diamond Path Buddhist Foundation", a lay non-monastic organisation of the Karma Kagyu lineage, which is one of the four major schools of Tibetan Buddhism and focuses on meditation and through interaction with a skilled teacher can lead in the full and direct experience of the nature of the spirit, as travel-inspiration.gr writes.
But what does the term Stupa generally mean in Buddhism?
It is a mound-like architectural structure that has a corridor around it and contains relics, small Buddhist statuettes as well as the ashes of cremated monks. Its main body is in the form of a bell, which symbolises the complete wisdom of the Buddha and is used as a place for contemplation prayer. In fact, these constructions, according to Buddhism, inspire man to deal with the development of the spirit and its unlimited possibilities.

In the manicured open space where the Buddhist centre is located, there are eight different types of Stupas:
These typical altars have a wonderful white colour and a golden top finish; at first glance, they look the same. But if one looks at them better, one will understand that their common elements are found mainly in the foundations up to the throne of lions, the upper part from the rings, and beyond because their middle part is what determines the diversity of each Stupa.
In the space, as the main monument dominates the ninth type of Stupa, the Kalachakra as it is called, which is associated with deep teachings about space and time, "The Wheel of Time", and is one of the highest methods for spiritual evolution and the liberation of man.
Despite the fact that the meditation centre is only for members of the Diamond Road and is not widely known to the public, it attracts dozens of ordinary visitors from all over the country, both for the "experience of the different" and for the wonderful location with the absolute tranquillity which offers.
