weekend of Tibetan cultural experiences in a public participative

It is also the year Gyuto Tantric University moves to their new Ramoche Monastery at Sidbhari near Dharamsala in Northern India. The 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. PUBLIC PROGRAM - HEAL THE
WORLD Buddhism holds that when on going problems occur in an individual or collective sense in the form of ill health, misfortune, natural disasters or human terror-especially when all counter measures fail, this indicates that the underlying spiritual energy is out of balance. Thus before further material solutions are applied, it is necessary to recharge the disturbed energy field with positive harmonizing forces. This is achieved through performing special ceremonies and healing pujas. Within Tibetan Buddhism the rituals are regarded as powerful means towards removing spiritual obstacles in the path of healing. This belief is based on the concept that unless the context is taken care of, treating the problem will only provide a short term and ineffective result-it is said, if the air is poisoned and polluted, there is little benefit in treating the lung! During the Bangalow weekend, the monks will perform daily chanting ceremonies, construct elaborate sculptures from coloured dough and make a Sand Mandala culminating in a Grand Procession to the Sea on Sunday afternoon when all present will be able to make a symbolic peace offering to the waters of the earth. A very special Public Talk will precede this - 'Healing the World' by Gyuto Tantric Master Jampa Tashi. It is hoped that all of us will lend our energy to this peaceful and subtly powerful effort to change the global mental and physical environment.
