Inverloch Spinning Wall of Peace
RSL Hall and Health & Energy Education Centre
Friday, Saturday, Sunday 19th - 21st April, 2002
The weekend 20th and
21st April, Inverloch will be the hub of an innovative cultural
event where the Gyuto Monks will construct a unique wall of Tibetan
Prayer Wheels to be spun by all who pass by in the spirit of
World Peace.
In November 2001, a Stupa
for Enlightenment and World Peace was built at the Health and
Energy Education Centre, 17 A¹Beckett Street, INVERLOCH
by Master Stupa Builder, Thupten Khedup, and the Gyuto Monks
of Tibet. Marjorie Jane Scott commissioned the Stupa and following
the positive community response has now requested the Gyuto Monks
to build a wall of Prayer Wheels at the same venue.
The program will include
Harmonic Chanting, Meditation, Culture for Kids workshops where
Œkids¹ of all ages can make their own Prayer Flags,
Magic Flowers and Tibetan Peace Weaving.
The program will feature
special sessions on:
- Meaning and use of the
Mantra "Om Mani Padme Hum"
- Stupas and Spinning
Wheels in Tibetan Culture by the Great Chantmaster of Gyuto Monastery,
Lobsang Tsering
- Mantra Rolling sessions,
Mani Stone Painting and Tibetan Pen Calligraphy
- Stalls will include
Tibetan artifacts and the famous "Yak Burgers" with
Gyuto Chilli Sauce
- School children and
community will be involved in making the mantras for the prayer
wheels
The Prayer Wheels are
being commissioned by Marjorie Jane Scott
