Tibetan Monks Hands On Workshop

An opportunity to meet the Tibetan monks from Tashi Lhunpo, who will introduce you to the unique traditions of Buddhist monastic art. These include sand mandala making - 'painting' with coloured grains of ground marble - the printing of prayer flags and the delicate art of butter sculpture.

You can learn some Tibetan language or make a dukar wheel which will be blessed by the monks to offer protection from negative influences. Tashi Lhunpo is one of the most important monasteries in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, now re-established in exile in India. A chance to learn more about an ancient, endangered culture.
