23.01.2022 Dissolution Ceremony Tuesday 5th May Time 9pm How can we do a Festival of Tibet without the Sand mandala. So here a 9 minute meditation on mandala. For the pa...st 11 year’s we always had the Sand Mandala creation at the festival. Here is a virtual one. Thank you all for all your warm hearted support. Meditation on impermanence nature of everything with Sand Mandala Let go of everything negative that is holding you, which just brings you suffering, The Tibetan monks spent nearly two weeks creating the Mandala out of tiny grains of colored sand, and only a few minutes to destroy it. They sweep up every last grain of sand and throw into the nearest stream to be swept into the ocean with genuine wish to bless the whole world. It’s gone in an instant, In an instant complete enlightenment. The dissolution ceremony symbolises nothing is permanent. Even this Coved19! So, please stay safe and compassionate to all beings. #sand_mandala #festival_of_tibet

16.01.2022 Statement on the UN Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons October 26, 2020 As an avowed campaigner for the elimination of all nuclear weapons, I welcome the fact that the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons has now been ratified by fifty countries and will come into force from January next year. This is indeed historic and augurs well for the future of humanity. It is a step in the right direction to finding more enlightened and civilized arrangements for reso...lving conflicts. I have no doubt that this treaty’s coming into force will contribute to even more concerted efforts to do away with these dreadful weapons and secure genuine and lasting peace in our world. It is my belief that our generation has arrived at the threshold of a new era in human history. Because we are all interdependent, our vast and diverse human family must learn to live together in peace. I commend the United Nations and the concerned member states that have made this treaty possible. It is an act of universal responsibility that recognises the fundamental oneness of humanity. The world has now taken the first positive step towards a more peaceful future, but our ultimate goal should be the demilitarization of the entire planet. I believe this is feasible if proper plans are made and people are educated to their advantages. Since the first step, the intention to eliminate nuclear weapons has been taken; ultimately total demilitarization can be achieved. A nuclear-free world is in everyone’s interest. The reality today is we need to rely on mutual understanding and dialogue to resolve conflicts. Therefore, I take the opportunity to urge all governments to work to implement this treaty, so that the world becomes a safer place for us all. Dalai Lama

13.01.2022 The 2nd of April is the date given to me as my Birthday when I was admitted to Tibetan Children’s Village school in 1980. I don’t know the real day of my birth.

We have some amazing line up of Brisbane Artists for you. To all my friends in the vicinity of Br...isbane... I hope you can come along to this in person concert. It’s hard to plan anything these days but managed to bring you this one off concert in person. Many of my amazingly warm-hearted Brisbane artists friends are giving their time and heart for this concert... Don’t miss it.
