Drepung Kongpo Khangtsen Monks UK Peace Tour
The purpose of the Lelung Dharma Trust's Shide-Peace project is to bring peace to the UK and also globally and in order to help raise awareness of this the Lelung Dharma Trust is bringing a group of Tibetan monks to the UK. Through doing this it hopes to generate positive energy for world peace. www.shide-peace.org
Also the monks need some help as they had to build new accommodation and need support for this project. Therefore the Trust is also organising this peace tour to help them. This tour is relying mainly on donation based funding and therefore any donation made will help the monks' project and all donations will go to the monks. www.drepungkongpokhangtsenmonks.org
During their UK Peace Tour the monks will be creating beautiful sand mandalas made from millions of grains of coloured sand and also performing 'Sacred Music
Dance from the Land of the Snow'. With rich overtone chanting, meditative prayer, traditional costumes, ceremonial masks and the use of Tantric instruments they will evoke the atmosphere of sacred Tibet.
