Event Details

Borobudur – the Temple of Heaven on Earth: International Inauguration and ‘the Rain of Blessings’ Festival

Opening of the great prayer festival to be held from July 21 to September 18, featuring Tibetan lamas and monks from different monasteries in our tradition.

Over 50 Tibetan Lamas and monks, from important monasteries in India, Nepal and Europe, will be guests of the Centre to officiate at various traditional ceremonies and to reinvigorate the blessing of the Temple so that it can be for us and for all, as taught by Lama Gangchen Rinpoche, a place of pilgrimage, healing and prayer, a place where, with every comfort, we can study, meditate and practise the Dharma now and for a long time to come. The event is dedicated to inner, world and environmental peace, and in particular to the swift return of Drubwang Gangchen Rinpoche.
