Vesak (Ost Park)
June 14, 2008
Many different Buddhist groups from the Frankfurt area collaborated to make this year’s Vesak (Ost Park) celebration a success. During the last Vesak (Ost Park) the celebrations, talks, and performances were damped with cold rain showers. This year the sunshine prevailed in warding off the rain clouds.
Delightful Dharma
June 12, 2008 Video
The evening of Mantras with Ani Choying was delightful. It is a wonderful experience listening to such soothing melodies and to know that it is the sounds of mantra (mind protection) that you are hearing. Ani Choying began the night with a special Avolokiteshvara mantra and ended with whole audience participation in the singing of Om Mani Pad Me Om.
This visit to Germany Venerable Choying brought with her a new video of her Nunnery and life’s quest. This video showed in detail workings or her Nunnery “Arya Tara School” including the daily lives her 54 students. This video made clear Ani’s life work of “one more concert one more child.”
