THE TIBETAN MONKS PEACE TOUR YACKANDANDAH JULY 1st TILL THE 21st
Fund raising for the Tibetan Monks click here
The Tibetan monks are living in exile,
in the Drati Khangsten at Sera Je Monastery in Southern India. Sera Je Drati
Khangtsen was founded by Je Jamchen Choeje
Shakya Yeshe in the early 13 th century AD during the early history of Tibetan
Buddhism.
A khangtsen is a branch institute of a monastery. Drati Khangsten provides assistance
to refugee monks from a particular area of Tibet, Himalayen regions and Butan.
The Drati Monks Peace Tours goal is to raise awareness of and share the Tibetan
Culture, Art, Buddhism, and to raise urgently needed funds to provide accommodation,
a place to practice and study, education and basic health care for the monks.
While the monks are in Australia, they will be making Sand Mandalas, holding
retreats, leading meditations, sharing their knowledge of Buddhism, teaching
traditional cooking, and sharing time with local school children.
In the school they allow the children to use the mandala making equipment, tell
stories, make prayer flags, draw and color mandalas and teach traditional chants,
for world peace, good health and for a positive environment. Following the crack
down on the tibetan monks and culture in Tibet the number of monks is ever increasing.
At this time there are some 380 monks residing in Drati Khangsten. Aproximately
50 new monks arrive each year, causing quite some considerable strain on the
resources.
Now with the latest crackdown there will be MANY MORE!
YACKANDANDAH WILL HOST 4 TIBETAN MONKS AND NUN FROM THE 1ST OF JULY UNTIL THE
21ST OF JULY THIS WILL BE A HISTORY MAKING EVENT FOR YACKANDANDAH , A GREAT
CULTURAL EXCHANGE FOR THE PEOPLE OF THE NORTH EAST OF VICTORIA AND THE INDIGO
SHIRE.

WONDERFUL PEACEFUL PEOPLE AND LEARN ABOUT T HEIR CULTURE.
