On June 3, 2007, near the city of Benalmádena (Málaga, Spain), Arguru was driving in his car when he lost control and crashed into an RV, killing him in the accident.
Benalmádena Stupa (Chan Chub Chorten in Tibetan) symbolizes Buddha's enlightenment, the realisation of the nature of mind, and is one of the eight different forms that stupas are built according to.

Whereas stupas are typically sealed structures, the Benalmádena Stupa is unusual as there is a 100 square metre meditation room and a room that can be used for exhibitions about Tibetan Buddhism and Himalayan culture inside the structure.
