 Mongolian Buddhists will be
joined by Buddhists from the Russian Republic of Kalmykia as they journey
to see the Dali Lama in India.
The visit to the Dali Lama’s
home in exile, Dharamsala in northern India, will coincide with a major
Tibetan cultural festival.
“I hope this exhibition will
offer an opportunity to the local Indians and Tibetans here to understand
Buddhist culture and traditions of Mongolia and the Russian Republics,”
said Telo Rinpoche, the spiritual head of Kalmyk Buddhists.
The Mongolian delegates will
visit a variety of Tibetan cultural and educational institutions in
the Dharamsala area. There will also be performances of cultural songs
and dances, including the famed throat singing by artists from the Tuva
Republic.
“I hope the coming Buddhists
festival will help rejuvenate and revive our centuries-old shared history
with Tibet and its people and bridge renewed connection among us,”
Rinpoche said.
“By sheer coincidence we
will blessed by His Holiness the Dalai Lama’s first public appearance
after coming back to Dharamsala from abroad,” Rinpoche said.
