Tashi Lhunpo Monks of Tibet to perform at FutureSound In London
FUTURESOUND PRESENTS SPECIAL GUESTS - THE TASHI LHUNPO MONKS FROM TIBET.
Tibetan Buddhist Monks from Tashi Lhunpo Monastery in Tibet open a magical window on to a world of reincarnation and mysticism. With the contemplative Buddhist chant and swirling masked dances accompanied by ancient Tantric musical instruments the monks evoke the atmosphere of sacred Tibet.
Founded by the first Dalai Lama in 1447 in Shigatse, Central Tibet, Tashi Lhunpo is one of the most important monasteries in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, and is the seat of the Panchen Lama, the second most important spiritual leader of Tibet after the Dalai Lama.
Fifty years ago their monastery was re-established in India which has allowed this sacred culture to be shared by all, offering a fascinating glimpse into a unique tradition.
THIS CAPTIVATING EVENT IS SET TO BE AN UNFORGETTABLE JOURNEY THROUGH SOUND AND NOT TO BE REPEATED AGAIN.
6.30pm - 10PM :: TUESDAY 8th AUGUST :: EARTH THEATRE :: N16 8BH :: LONDON
