2004 TOUR OF AUSTRALIA featuring GYUTO TANTRIC RITUAL MASTER JAMPA TASHI On April 1, 1994, Maureen Fallon organized her first Gyuto Monk Harmonic Chanting performance at the Arts Theatre, Adelaide on the monks very first visit to Australia. Later that year, in September, the monks returned to create the very first Sand Mandalas seen in Australia in major public programs at the West Australian Museum, the South Australian Museum and the National Gallery in Canberra. The rest as they say is history. The monks have returned every year since then to offer increasingly diverse and popular public programs around the country. In 1996, Gyuto House was formed and in 1998 became a fully fledged public benevolent institution. It has continued to honour the initial commitment to bring the monks and Tibetan culture to the Australian community in the simplest, most accessible way possible with minimal infrastructure and an enormous amount of volunteer labour. In the process, many Australians have come to know the Gyuto Monks and to benefit from their gentle practice of kindness and compassion. Read full article by clicking here ...
