Festival of Tibet

Om ma ni pad mey hum - Jewel in the Lotus

“For as long as space endures, and for as long as living beings remain, until then may I too abide to dispel the misery of the world.” –Shanti Deva

The Festival of Tibet is a five-day festival that will engage the senses in a celebration of the unique music and sacred arts of Tibet. The Tashi Lhunpo Monks of Tibet will create a stunning medicine Buddha SAND MANDALA and renowned artist Karma Phuntsok will exhibit his cutting edge contemporary Tibetan Paintings. A Discussion Panel featuring prominent environmentalists on “Climate change on the roof of the world: Why Tibet matters” will allow a stimulating exchange on the importance of protecting Tibet’s fragile environment. Kuzho Lama Geshe Tashi Tsering will give a public talk on ‘Seed of Compassion: The Art of Happiness.’ Each evening concludes with a different themed concert featuring Tenzin Choegyal, Tashi Lhunpo Monks of TIBET, The Australian Voices (prominent choral group), Trikaya (The Tibetan Book of the Dead) and Camerata of St John’s (string orchestra). 

You will have the opportunity to join in a number of workshops throughout the festival. Paint your own Buddha with Karma Phuntsok, Tibetan Healing Mantra, Sound Healing, Tibetan Ritual Dance, Why Tibet? Grassroots Workshop and the Art of the Sand Mandala.
