Our 2011 Tour Group arrived in the UK in mid-September, and we quickly got to work. In the first two weeks we have performed in Aldershot, made Momos at Salisbury International Food Festival and given workshops at The Burgate School in Fordingbridge and a short performance at Guys Marsh Prison in Dorset. We have also given two performances for Artsreach - both sold out - and we are now in Brighton at the Sallis Benney Theatre, where we are making a Tse-pa-meh Sand Mandala (the Buddha of Long Life). The exhibition will continue until Saturday 8th October, when the destruction ceremony takes place at 10.30am.
We have also travelled to Turkey where, in the home of the Whirling Dervish, we became the first Buddhist monks ever to perform the Cham Dances as part of the Mystic Music Festival in Konya.
Our new CD, Wisdom and Insight, is now on sale celebrating the reestablishment of Tashi Lhunpo Monastery in exile.
We will be touring until December so please check our website for details of all the venues we will be visiting.
