Tibetan Healing Arts Tour – 2009
Gajang Medical Society is the health initiative of Gaden Jangtse
Monastery.
The Gajang Medical Society is honored to
have the opportunity to bring a unique Tibetan Healing Arts Tour to
Europe from 26th August to 20th November 2009.
It is unique and special in the sense that never in the history such
a tour with multifarious pieces of Tibetan sacred art, tradition of
divination (MO) and traditional system of healing has been offered
at a single time.
In 2009 seven monks from Gaden Jangtse
Monastery, all trained in the sacred Tibetan Buddhist art forms,
will be touring Europe on their Tibetan Healing Arts Tour – 2009.
The monks would be assisted by two lay interpreters. One lay Tibetan
traditional doctor would be available for consultation and healing
during the events.
The tour is expected to cover Poland,
Germany, Switzerland and Austria.
The tour features a variety of events
for people of all ages and abilities, include constructing Sacred
Sand Mandalas, performing the traditional Tibetan Cham Dances,
Tantric Chanting, doing Divination (MO) to invoke divine
interpretation of your problems and their solutions, Dharma talks
for those interested in learning about Tibetan Buddhism and a chance
to consult a qualified Tibetan traditional doctor for all your
ailments and an educational slideshow featuring images of the Gaden
Jangtse Monastery and the Gajang Medical Society with a running
commentary.
The proceeds from the tour will go to
fund the activities of the Gajang Medical Society in general and the
following two aims in particular:
1.
To create a Capital Fund for the Society.
2.
To raise enough funds to offer scholarship to some
Tibetan students to pursue studies in medicine, dentistry, pharmacy
and nursing.
While in the tour the monks hope to
visit educational institutions, local businesses, libraries, medical
facilities, service organizations, city government affiliates and
programs, churches, synagogues, mosques, and other organizations
interested in hosting these community events. They are particularly
interested in participating in community events involving children,
the elderly, refugees, and other groups or individuals who would not
normally have access to this kind of program.
Feel free to pick and choose which items
you would like to present in your area. We are very happy and
grateful to be able to share the Tibetan Buddhist experience with
you and to give you and your organization a glimpse of this
beautiful culture.
