| Sharing
Tibet’s unique culture
to promote global peace, healing and
understanding
Whether
in times of celebration, for healing after a tragedy,
or for education and cultural exchange, our monks on the
Mystical Arts of Tibet tours have shared Tibet’s
sacred arts and culture with over a thousand communities
in the past fifteen years, including: |
|
 |
|
| • |
Celebrating
Independence Day with tens of thousands at the National
Mall in Washington DC as part of the Smithsonian Folklife
Festival in 2000 |
| • |
Creating
a Sand Mandala for Healing and offering prayers in New York
City and in Washington DC following the 9/11 tragedies;
in Oklahoma following the Oklahoma City Bombing; and in
Slidell, Louisiana, in the wake of Hurricane Katrina |
|
| These
tours seek to promote peace and healing in our world and raise
awareness of Tibet’s endangered culture and need for religious
freedom. They have also raised vital funds needed to support Drepung
Loseling Monastery in India, thereby helping to ensure the preservation
of the Tibetan Buddhist culture in exile. |
| |
| “The
construction of the healing mandala in the aftermath of
the 9/11 tragedy brought a sense of relief and emotional
healing to many of our visitors. This is evidenced by
hundreds of moving comments made in our visitors’
books.” |
| –Vidya
Dehejia, Acting Director, Smithsonian’s Sackler
Gallery. |
|
| |
| “Thank
you, Drepung Loseling Monastery, for your contributions
in helping our city in its recovery efforts following
Hurricane Katrina with your presentation of the Mystical
Arts of Tibet Sacred Music Sacred Dance and your donation
of the Mystical Arts of Tibet mandala. Your efforts will
never be forgotten.” |
–Ben
O. Morris, Mayor
of the City of Slidell, Louisiana |
