The dual aim of helping the monks while they, in turn, help Australians to celebrate the innate qualities of kindness in the national psyche, has been an identifiable feature of all their subsequent visits since 1994. With laughter and tears, schoolchildren from Port Adelaide to Cape York, Aboriginal elders from the Nullabor to the Wallaga Lakes, mayors, politicians, business people, public servants, academics, artists, sports enthusiasts, all races, nationalities and religions, respond positively to the warmth, love and infectious goodwill of the monks. Gyuto House is a public benevolent institution which exists on voluntary support and sponsorship. Through it's cultural activities, it raises funds to help Gyuto Monastery support its young refugee monks, many of whom are recent arrivals from Tibet, as well as the dwindling numbers of elderly monks who escaped Tibet in 1959, and who have struggled to preserve their ancient culture throughout the past 30 years in exile. Gyuto House and the Gyuto Monks have no budget base and all activities are self-funding. |
