About the event
A Day of Wisdom and Transformation -Opening the Voices of Diaspora Program
Come experience the living traditions of Tibet and the Himalayas! Be a part of traditions such as the Tibetan Buddhist Shrine - 7 bowls of water offerings, hanging prayer flags. When the wind blows the prayer flags the prayer is read. It is believed to bring forth good fortune, healings, purify the environment and help bring peace and harmony to oneself and to the world.
Contribute your own hopes and prayers and learn about the benefits and symbolism of the 7 bowls of Tibetan Buddhist shrine water offerings and prayer flags.
Palyul Chant Master Lama Pasang Gurung will do opening prayers and Mantra chanting. All participants can come together to raise prayer flags along with Chant Master Lama Pasang in memory of someone, for world peace or take home a blessed prayer flag to usher in good fortune…
