Tibet is located on the southwestern
border of China. With an extension of approximately 1,200
km its territory consists mainly of high mountains peaks with
an average height of 4,000 m. This land is known as the "Roof
of the World".
It is a territory rich in natural resources,
minerals, and geothermic areas. It counts with more than 5,700
varieties of plants and a great number of birds and other
animals.
The Tibetan plateau remained hidden in
the Himalayan glaciers for millenniums, being inhabited only
by hospitable and warm people who knew how to live in harmony
with their natural environment.
Being closed off from the external world,
Tibet was considered a magical and mysterious country, until
in 1959 it was invaded by China. Just recently, in the past
years, few people have had the opportunity to fully discover
the legacy Tibet has left to humanity.
The monks are part of this history and
now they come to our countries to give and share with us their
culture and traditions, their traditional attire and communal
lifestyle, through seminars and a wonderful variety of sacred
dances, chants, and healing ceremonies.
PRESENTATION
Under the sponsorship of the Department
of Culture and Religion of the Central Administration of H.H.
the Dalai Lama, and the World Coordination of the Multicultural
Association INKARRI, the monks are embarking on their 9o.
World Tour 2006-2007 to the USA, Europe, and Latin America.
All activities of the Tibetan Monks throughout
the World Tour have, as their main objective, to encourage,
reactivate, and share the Spirit of Universal Compassion,
fostering Inner Peace, Unity and the reuniting of the Sacred
Traditions from Orient, America, and Europe. The tour pretends
to achieve this through the presentation of ceremonies, chants,
and traditional dances of Tibet and the different regions
they represent, thus bringing together people of different
groups of humanistic expression and schools of philosophy,
and establishing harmonious links that will allow the communion
of all nations on Earth.
For the first time, some of the Tibetan knowledge
on psychology, medicine, astrology, philosophy, and energetic
healings will be transmitted under theoretic-practical systems
throughout the courses and conferences that will take place
in different forums and academic institutions in the USA,
Europe, and Latin America. The main purpose is to exalt the
Human Values of Compassion, Universal Love, Unity, and Inner
Peace. Initiation ceremonies, meditations, lectures, and astrological
orientations will also take place as well as diagnosis and
medical treatments with Tibetan herbal medicine, purifications,
and energetic healings based on the principles that have been
protected by this culture since time immemorial, while promoting
the Development of Human Potential and Harmony.
Through these activities the Monks are
trying to build a bridge of light and transformation that
will spark the dormant spirituality that lies within us all,
and will allow for a kinder, more understanding modern Western
world.
