NEW YEARS EVE EVENT
CHANTED MEDITATION & MEAL EVENING

THU 31 DEC, 8pm – 12.30pm

Let go of the busyness of the year and ease into a peaceful, uplifting evening ~ a meaningful way to start the year.

The end of the year is a time when we look back and reflect on the events of the year. The last few years have seen the world change dramatically, often for the worse. There have been many natural disasters, wars and acts of terrorism. Each year the world becomes a more frightening place to live in. However we mustn’t forget that there is also a lot of good in the world. Everyday people show extraordinary kindness to others. Mothers putting their children’s happiness before their own, people helping their friends – worrying about them and consoling them when they are sad. If we are to have world peace we need to remember the good in the world because this is the foundation from which world peace will grow. For this reason, we will see in the New Year with a candle lit vigil dedicated for world peace and happiness.

Ganden Centre is hosting an evening event – ‘Prayers for World Peace’.  The evening begins at 8pm with mocktails. This will be followed by a teaching and meditation on how it is possible to achieve peace throughout our world. The teaching and meditation will be given by Buddhist nun, Gen Kelsang Tumo. After this there will be a vegetarian buffet, with time to chat and meet like minded people.

A truly nourishing experience for both body and mind.
