AUSTRALIA KAGYU MONLAM FESTIVAL
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. Join us on this auspicious occasion and let us pray together for world peace!
OUR LINEAGE
We follow the 900-year-old Karma Kagyu Lineage in Tibetan Buddhism where a great emphasis is placed on the continuity of oral instructions passed on from master to student. The Kagyu Lineage traces its origin back to the historic Buddha, Shakyamuni and Marpa Lotsawa, the great translator and yogi, who brought the unbroken lineage from India to Tibet and hence, this great Golden Rosary tradition still continues to our present time with H. H. the 17th Gyalwang Karmapa Ogyen Trinley Dorje.
OUR TEACHER
Our Spiritual Teacher, His Eminence Venerable Dukung Gyaltsen Tulku Rinpoche-la, is a senior teacher of the Karma Kagyu Lineage of Tibetan Buddhism. He holds a Master’s degree from the Karma Sri Nalanda University and has managed the monastic bodies in Sikkim, India. Rinpoche-la currently represents H.H. the 17th Gyalwang Karmapa Ogyen Trinley Dorje in Australasia and teaches extensively in multiple languages.
