Tibetan Gaden Monastery Cultural Tour

Unity Church of Richmond is hosting the Tibetan monks of the Gaden Shartse Dokhang Monastery for a week of events that will be open to the public! They are here with the blessing of His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama to share their culture, practices and paths to inner peace and compassion.

Activities include teachings from Tibetan Buddhism, daily meditations, cultural performances, musical presentations with Tibetan singing bowls and chanting, sand mandala rituals, snow leopard conservation and more!

The Gaden Shartse Dokhang Monastery is part of one of the oldest and most revered monasteries in Tibet, now located in South India. This house has produced many important teachers in the Gelug tradition, including Geshe Thupten Jinpa, the primary English interpreter for His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama.




Funds raised on this tour will help to build a prayer hall, dormitories and provide for the medical needs for the monks of Gaden Shartse Dokhang Monastery.


Gaden Monastery is one of the three most renowned monasteries of Tibet. Originally founded in Tibet in 1409 by Je Tsongkhapa (1357 – 1419), a preeminent Tibetan preacher, saint, and Buddhist scholar, Gaden is where the Gelugpa School or the Yellow Hat Sect of Tibetan Buddhism emerged. The monastery was built on a majestic mountain just outside of Lhasa.

Gaden quickly became well known for its moral discipline, academic strength, and spiritual values. Monks of all ages poured in from every part of Tibet, Mongolia, China, Japan and Northern India. By the 1950s the population of the monastery had grown to 5,000. The youngest monks started at age seven. All monks, irrespective of their specific focus of study, engaged in rigorous study at the monastery for many years. In addition to in-depth philosophical study, there were trainings in different vocations such as religious music, arts, sculpture, and administrative work.

The Gandhi Event Celebration!

We had such a fabulous time at The Gandhi Event this past Saturday.  All of our months of hard work and planning paid off with such a fabulous turnout - over 600 people!  We are so grateful to our amazing performers!  The Drums Not Guns group got the crowd going and excited which really created a joyful sense of community within the amphitheatre.  The Kuchipudi dancers from Sri Sai Dance Academy inspired the crowd with the beauty of their traditional dance.  It was truly a blessing to watch them perform!  Finally, we'd like to thank Dr. Arun Gandhi and Bethany Hegedus for sharing their heartwarming experiences and perspectives of peace, understanding and harmony.  Your words on what non-violence means were enlightening and it was an experience that attendees are not likely to forget.  Thank you for taking the time to speak to our community and spreading love in our hearts. You truly are Peace Farmers.
