Celebrate Tibetan culture at the Festival of Tibet, held at the Brisbane Powerhouse from the 1st to 5th February, 2012.

Experience the friendliness and the spirit of this culture, founded on compassion and non violence. In practising 'the art of living' philosophy, through contentment, joy and fulfilment, you will be able to share in the wisdom of the Tibetan Monks through conversation, music and the creation of a sacred sand mandala.



With Tibetan Dr consultations, chakra healing and painting workshops, music concerts and public lectures, this festival can only inspire joy.

The festival program includes both ticketed and free events.

Some of the free events include meditations and mantras with the Monks of Tibet each morning during the festival from 9am to 9.30am, a Tibetan ritual dance on Thursday 2nd of February at 1.30pm, performed by the Tashi Lhunpo Monks and a "Happiness by Expressing Your Real Self" public lecture, on Saturday 4th of February at 1.30pm by Geshe Lobsang Jamyang.



The first day of the festival includes a special screening of the beautiful film 'Summer Pasture', followed by a traditional opening ceremony with the Tashi Lhunpo Monks of Tibet.

Another highlight of the festival program is the collaborative work 'The Tibet Effect', which will be held on Saturday 4th of February. It features Tenzin Tsundue, a passionate poet, an award winning writer and Tibetan activist and explores the beauty of Tibetan culture and the tragedies faced by Tibet today through narrative, music poetry and chanting.

"With the realisation of one's own potential and self-confidence in one's ability, one can built a better world" (The Art of living, His Holiness the Dalai Lama)
