Mark your diary!
We would love you to join us if you can. You can mark your diary. Full details of the program are coming soon – including a special Dharma talk at 2 pm, children’s meditation, wonderful food including Tibetan momos, the New Year Blessing Ceremony, garden tour, a guided meditation and temple walk. The gardens are especially spectacular through lots of volunteer effort, and stunning new roses.
During the New Year Blessing Ceremony spiritual leaders from Buddhist and other religious traditions, government representatives, and the community join in reflection and prayer for a world of peace, sustainability and happiness.
Thoughtful festival theme
The theme of this year’s festival is Courage and patience – navigating our current world. We all have simple but profound choices to make each day.
While our beautiful planet is increasingly facing adversity, its future and ours are in our hands.
If we navigate each day with courage and patience, without fear, anger or resentment, we can help make a better world, but not through grumbling or turning away.
During this new year festival we will consider our own states of mind, our contributions to peace, being kind and compassionate and helping however we can to make the world a better place.
