Monday 25th June

7:00pm

An evening of Tibetan Music, Dance and Ceremony with the monks of the Tashi Lhunpo Monastery from Tibet. This is a rare opportunity to experience the sacred music of Tibet in the unique surroundings of Arnos Vale.

The sacred world of Tibet is filled with the chanting of Buddhist texts, the recitation of mantras, the ringing of bells, the clash of cymbals, the booming of the great long horns and the beating of drums. The Tibetan monks from Tashi Lhunpo Monastery, offer a dramatic presentation of their unique sacred dances, music and prayers, with colourful traditional costumes and ceremonial masks.

Tashi Lhunpo Monastery, founded by the first Dalai Lama in the 15th Century, and the seat of the Panchen Lama, is one of the most important monasteries in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition. Now re-established in exile in South India, the monastery is once again becoming one of the major centres of learning, best known for its artistic tradition of masked dances and sacred music. The performance offers a rare opportunity to witness a unique and endangered culture.
