Iconic Tashi Lhunpo Monks Returning To Quay Arts

The Tashi Lhunpo Monks return to Quay Arts with their popular sell-out show, celebrating their 50th anniversary.

Performances will take place on Saturday and Sunday July 1 and 2.

The show offers an insight into the mystical world of Tibet, featuring traditional Tibetan musical instruments, the sound of sacred mantras, and elaborate, colourful costumes.

The performance is accompanied by an explanation of the significance and stories behind the dances and prayers and provides a fascinating glimpse into an ancient cultural tradition far removed from modern Western society.

Alongside the performances, the monks offer interactive workshops inviting participants to learn more about the costumes, performance, and music of a Tibetan monastery.

There is also an opportunity to try some of the Tibetan arts of butter sculpture, prayer flag printing or sand mandala making.

The Tantric tradition of meditation is exemplified by the construction of intricate sand mandalas.

Workshops take place from 4pm, doors open at 6pm, and the show starts at 8pm.

Tickets can be purchased online or by calling the Quay Arts Box Office on 822490.
