Brookwood
Cemetery, Woking, Surrey.
Sunday
7th October 2007
Inauguration of the Three
Wheels Buddhist Stupa of Namu-Amida-Butsu
at Brookwood Cemetery, Woking, Surrey.
The inauguration took place on Sunday 7
October. The project originated in a bequest
by Reverend Zenko (the same person as above),
a Zen Priest who died on 19 February 2007.
The Venerable Chimyo Takehara, Head Priest
of Shogyoji Temple in Japan (Reverend Sato's
Master) decided that the best way to use
the bequest to build a Stupa; an idea that
Reverend
Zenko warmly
welcomed and endorsed before he died.
The
Stupa
is located in plot 36 and is close to the
graves of four Japanese students who died
in London about 140 years ago. For the Three
Wheels this site has been an enduring symbol
of Anglo-Japanese friendship.
