Performance by Tibetan Monks in Kenan Auditorium

A Sacred Healing Ritual by the Drepung Loseling Monks

Throughout a number of previous North American tours of The Mystical Arts of Tibet: Sacred Music Dance for World Healing, monks of Drepung Loseling Monastery have performed traditional rituals of Tibet. Based on Buddhist practices and native pre-Buddhist rituals, Tibetans developed many ceremonies for bringing about various aspects of healing, as well as practices for purposes of purification, removal of obstacles, and improving general well-being as well as increasing the positive energy of individuals and bringing about an enhanced connection to their fellow sentient beings and the environment.

There is a branch of the Drebung Loseling monastery in Atlanta:
the Loseling Institute.

Saturday January 29 at 8 PM in Kenan Auditorium on the UNCW campus
