The monks are on a two-year “Sacred Earth and Healing Arts of Tibet Tour for World Peace.” They are coming to share their unique and deeply spiritual culture of Tibetan Buddhism, including a cultural day where families can enjoy hands-on workshops creating butter sculptures and stringing prayer beads. There will also be cultural presentations, talks on Tibetan Buddhism, meditations, and the always popular series of rituals and ceremonies.
Background:
Gaden Shartse Monastic College is situated amid lush green hills and jungle in the remote countryside of southern India. It was founded in 1969 as an effort to re-establish one of the greatest monastic traditions of Tibet. A small group of elder monks and fifteen young boys, all of whom had managed to escape the destruction in Tibet, settled on land given to them by the Indian government in Mundgod, Karnataka.
Today the college is at the forefront of the revival of Tibetan Monastic education, with more than 1,600 resident students, teachers, scholars, and spiritual practitioners. More than 70% of the members are between the ages of 10 and 25and 80% were born in Tibet. To this day, young monks arrive at the Monastery weekly from Tibet, seeking shelter and education. Due to the success of the academic program and the quality of the teachers at the monastery, Gaden Shartse has established a reputation as being the leader in Buddhist and Tibetan studies.
