    Sedona, AZ (December 2, 2011) – AZADI Fine Rugs of Sedona is once again hosting a fascinating,  informative and music-filled weekend fundraising event, entitled: Help 

    Secure Sacred Land: The Amitabha Stupa, Jewel of Sedona. The event kicks off December 2nd during First Friday in the Galleries and

    continues through the weekend, Saturday and Sunday, December 3rd and 4th in their Hillside shopping plaza location.

    Ongoing informal talks each day with video clips will reveal both the physical and mystical aspects of stupa construction, how to work with

    a stupa to deepen spiritually and heal, how to receive it’s blessings, the thousands of ritual objects contained within it’s enormous sealed

    chamber, and what an extraordinary and rare opportunity it is to intersect with a stupa. Exquisite hand woven Tibetan rugs will be

    discounted and on sale and a generous portion of the proceeds will benefit securing the land the Amitabha Stupa and Peace Park rest upon.

    The Friday night reception from 5:00 to 8:00 pm features virtuoso flamenco guitarist Eric Miller, exquisite local Page Springs wines and

    refreshments.

    On Saturday the 3rd from 12:00 to 4:00 pm enjoy more live musical entertainment. Bill Miller, jazz keyboardist, will be playing from 12

    to 2 pm and singer-songwriter Adalia Tara, will perform from 2- 4 pm. On Sunday there will also be live music, to be announced.

    Stupas, rare in North America, are one of the oldest forms of sacred architecture. They have been on the earth for 26 centuries. The

    Amitabha Stupa was initiated by realized Tibetan Buddhist master and lineage holder, Jetsunma Ahkön Lhamo, spiritual director of Kunzang

    Sedona Gift Shop

    Palyul Chöling (KPC). Construction was completed in 2004. Inspired to build stupas that traditionally alleviate suffering, harmonize the

    land, dispel negativity, produce tremendous virtue and accelerate enlightened potential, she has directed the construction of some 25

    stupas since 1988, most found at KPC’s main temple in Maryland.

    Analyzing City’s Legal Right to
    Ban OHVs on Public Roads

    By Tommy Acosta
    Mea Culpa! Mea Culpa! Mea Maxima Culpa! I screwed up. Blew it. Totally made a fool of myself. Missed the boat. I am talking about my editorial on the OHV fight, No Legal Traction on OHVs. I assumed that it was ADOT that would make a decision on whether the city could legally ban off road vehicles from our public roads like S.R. 89A and S.R. 179. Man was I off. ADOT has nothing to do with allowing or disallowing the city to do so. ADOT’s response to me when I asked them to clarify their position, was curt and to the point. “ADOT designs, builds and maintains the state highway system,” I was told. “It is not our place to offer an opinion on how state law might apply in this matter.” It was a totally “duh” moment for me when I realized that that the decision or judgement on the OHV ordinance, would involve the state and not ADOT. Chagrinned I stand. The crux of the matter then is whether the city can effectively use a number of standing state laws that can be interpreted to determine whether the city can legally ban the vehicles or not.
