Gaden Samten Ling Tibetan Buddhist Meditation Society and the Alberta Centre for Peace and Meditation are delighted to invite you to attend our 10th anniversary celebration of the opening of the Alberta Centre for Peace and Meditation. The day will also include a celebration of His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama’s 87th birthday.
EVENT DESCRIPTION:
This special celebration is being held Sunday, July 10th from 11 am – 3 pm at 11403 – 104 Street in Edmonton. We will begin the day with a traditional Tibetan ceremony to honour His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama. Guests will join Kushok in our front yard for an environmental purification ceremony and together we will recite a Victory Cry. The ceremony will be followed by lunch and time to visit and honour present and past members, music, dancing and maybe even a little karaoke.
Please join us on July 10th to help us celebrate past and present members, and the opening of our beautiful centre!
ABOUT THE CENTRE:
The Alberta Centre for Peace and Meditation officially opened in 2012. It was built in the style of a Tibetan monastery and offers a unique environment in which to practice whether you are a first-time meditator or an active Buddhist practitioner.
The Centre was designed under the vision of our very kind and knowledgeable teacher Kushok Lobsang Dhamchöe and was consecrated by the senior monks from the Namgyal Monastery, the personal Monastery of His Holiness’ 14th Dalai Lama.
We have been blessed for the last decade to offer programming throughout the year including introduction to meditation courses, meditation retreats, children’s meditation programming and Tibetan cultural celebrations.
