A group of monks from the Gyuto Tantric University and Monastery
will bring Tibetan Buddhist sand mandelas, multiphonic chanting,
and meditation to campus the week of April 8 – 12. The monks, who
have lent their deep harmonic chanting to the soundtracks of Kundun
and Seven Years in Tibet, will spend a week as artists in
residence at UBC participating in lectures, demonstrations and meditation
sessions, culminating in a concert at the Chan Centre on April 12.
Joining them will be the Dalai Lama’s personal translator, Ven
Lhakdor, who will speak on the topic of "Spirituality and Diplomacy:
Tibet and the World" at a public lecture on April 11. For the
full schedule of the monks’ public engagements at UBC, visit the
