Meet the Tibetan monks from Tashi Lhunpo Monastery and experience first-hand Buddhist monastic culture. You can have a go at prayer flag printing, try making butter sculpture and using the chagpurs, special tools used for making a sand mandala in the Tantric tradition. Or perhaps make a Dukar Protection Wheel which will be blessed with a prayer at the end of the workshop.
The monks join the monastery as children, studying the Buddhist scriptures and the rituals and prayers of the Tibetan tradition. The Patron of their monastery is His Holiness the Dalai Lama, whose 91st birthday is celebrated on 6th July 2026.
