"I am very very happy with the Gyuto Monks programs in Australia" - H.H. Dalai Lama

ABOUT THE PROGRAM

This year marks the tenth anniversary of the Gyuto Monks' first visit to Australia in 1994. It is also the year Gyuto Tantric University moves to their new Ramoche Monastery at Sidbhari near Dharamsala in Northern India. This program will include the last film and photo coverage of the monks at home in their remote monastery in Tenzin Gang as well as of their new home.

This program will include daily Meditation Classes on the theme of "Dealing With Fear: Courage and Healing" -

  • Fri: Facing Our Fears
  • Sat: Filling the Void
  • Sun: Being and Awareness

There will also be daily Public Talks @ 2.00 - 3.00pm, concerining "Habits for Health and Happiness" -

Jampa Tashi personifies the tantric path of transforming the negative into the positive. It isn't useful to deny the power of our emotions - he tells us how to harness this energy instead for our own benefit and the benefit of those around us.

  • Fri: Delusions and Delights
  • Sat: Drop it. It's Not Personal!
  • Sun: Joy and Appreciation
