The Kagyu Monlam is an auspicious Buddhist Prayer Festival which celebrates the interconnectedness of all sentient beings in our world. It is a great occasion when all monastic bodies together with the lay Buddhist communities unite together to pray for world peace, harmony, happiness and the wellbeing of our global community.

This year’s festival program also includes:

Torma : the ancient art of Tibetan ritual offering – View intricate and delicate Torma sculptures prepared by our visiting monastic monks from Sikkim, India. Learn about the significance and tradition of this unique ritual art in Tibetan Buddhism!
Daily screening of Torma : the ancient art of Tibetan butter sculpture film.

Sand Mandala . Mandala constructed from sand, transmits positive energies to the environment and to the people who view them. They bring purification and healing to the viewer. Follow and witness the creation and dissolution of a Tibetan Buddhist Mandala over the Monlam Chenmo period.
Buddhist Relics. Don’t miss the rare opportunity to view and venerate this precious collection of Buddhist Relics. It is said that the enlightened beings with high realizations establish relics as a means for passing on blessings of their body, speech and mind for future generations.
Marme Monlam [Lamp Prayer]culminate our religious program with the lighting of candles as we make “Aspirations” for the world peace for all sentient beings!
Musical Offering is a celebration of songs, dances and performances from various cultural groups and communities in honour of the Triple Gems. It is a joyful show, on the closing day of Kagyu Monlam, and ends the Prayer Festival on a high note!
