      <image:title>Upcoming Events - May Soul Food and Soundscapes with Czech duo Mystical Duet - Soul Foods &amp; Soundscapes returns this May with a very special immerse sound experience led by multi-instrumentalists Mystical Duet. Returning to Australia once again, father-son duo Ivo and Pavel Sedlacek (Mystical Duet) offer a deeply meditative live sound journey that blends their captivating, ethereal music with profound stillness. We are honoured to welcome them back for an evening of rare beauty and deep listening. This immersive music meditation concert unfolds as a continuous flow of sound created entirely “here and now.” Participants are welcome to lie down, allowing the body to fully relax and the mind to gently settle. At the heart of the evening is the breathtaking 37-string spherical violin “Andromeda”, whose rich sympathetic resonance creates layers of luminous overtones. Together with handpan, mystical flutes, guitar and tuned glass, the instruments form a spacious and enveloping sound field. Ancient sacred mantras are gently woven into the soundscape, adding a timeless and transformative dimension to the journey.</image:title>

      <image:title>Upcoming Events - Anniversary of Lama Zopa Rinpoche Showing the Aspect of Passing Away 2026</image:title>
      <image:caption>April 13, 2026 marks the three-year anniversary of Lama Zopa Rinpoche showing the aspect of passing away. Please join us in coming together to celebrate the Life and Teachings of our precious Lama Zopa Rinpoche with Guru Puja, Lama Chopa Tsog with extensive light offerings, 6:00 pm in the main Gompa and online, all welcome to attend. We also warmly invite you to join the Chanting of the Names of Noble Manjushri with the nuns at 7:30am, in person only. We want to remind students about a text translated by Rinpoche, Advice for the Anniversary of the Guru’s Passing Away which is a short text that explains the importance of making offerings on the anniversary of the passing away of one’s guru. It sets out the benefits of making offerings, how to make the offerings with six remembrances, and how to offer and dedicate the roots of virtue collected. As Rinpoche explains in the foreword of this text, “Making offerings on the death anniversary of a guru is an incredible practice in that it brings about the greatest purification of negative karma and collects the most extensive merit.”</image:caption>

      <image:title>Upcoming Events - Mandala Wild Weaving Workshop - Workshop Facilitators:</image:title>
      <image:caption>Judith and Richard have conducted many workshops right across Queensland and NSW, with they’re use of natural fibres for  WILD BASKETS developed over 30 years ago. Judith is  the weaver and Richard is the ‘Hunter Gatherer’. Their craft grew out of their dedication to protect native bush and its inhabitants, together with their enthusiasm to be creative using normally discarded items. They joined local land conservation groups to help relieve the bush of destructive weeds and vines and started experimenting in weaving with them. Judith's interest in basket weaving began as a child. Her grandmother lost her sight and basket weaving was one of her therapies. Jude would visit and they would make baskets together.  As an adult, Judith learnt some valuable traditional basket weaving techniques using natural plant fibres from a lady who had spent many years in New Guinea and Arnhem Land. She started experimenting with local plant fibres available in the Central Queensland region and soon developed her own style and techniques. Both Richard and Judith have been living on the Sunshine Coast since 2000 and decided to grow as many weaving plants as possible.  They sell their Wild Baskets from their Gallery at home and have exhibited in the Chenrezig Wellbeing Centre exhibitions on several occasions.    The art of Weaving with natural plant fibres is a craft which can inspire creativity, and the materials are available all around us.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Upcoming Events - Shhh Sip n’ Sketch - About Event:</image:title>
      <image:caption>Shhh… Sip n’ Sketch is a contemplative creative ritual — a 2 hour immersion into silence, compassion, and intuitive observation. A unique life drawing experience you don’t want to miss*. We begin by softening into a guided heart meditation, awakening the inner space of awareness and kindness. From there, we enter a silent live drawing experience, sketching the Monk of the Month* in reverent observation. Here, drawing becomes meditation. Seeing becomes devotion. Silence becomes full. There is no pressure to perform. No expectation of outcome. Only an invitation to witness and respond. The sketching experience includes progressive pose intervals that allow participants to explore diverse techniques — from rapid gesture mapping to longer poses enabling deeper detailing, refined shapes, and tonal awareness. Timed intervals gently guide participants from intuitive gesture into sustained observation — supporting both beginners and experienced artists to deepen awareness while maintaining the silence and contemplative nature of the space. Between breaths and brushstrokes, you will sip “Big Love” chai tea— a gentle thread of warmth woven through the experience. This offering is intentionally intimate, limited to a maximum of 12 participants to preserve depth and connection. It is beginner-friendly and welcoming to all levels of experience, with all materials thoughtfully provided. Held in a safe, supportive, and quietly joyful environment, the space invites you to arrive open, create softly, and leave feeling connected — to yourself, to community, and to compassion. What to Bring An open heart and curious mind Comfortable clothing suitable for seated meditation and drawing A light shawl or layer for warmth A water bottle (optional) All sketching materials and chai tea are provided. Warm welcome to bring your own materials if preferred:)</image:caption>

      <image:title>Upcoming Events - Shhh Sip n’ Sketch - About Event:</image:title>
      <image:caption>Shhh… Sip &amp; Sketch is a contemplative creative ritual — a 2 hour immersion into silence, compassion, and intuitive observation. A first time life drawing experience you don’t want to miss*. We begin by softening into a guided heart meditation, awakening the inner space of awareness and kindness. From there, we enter a silent live drawing experience, sketching the Monk of the Month* in reverent observation. Here, drawing becomes meditation. Seeing becomes devotion. Silence becomes full. There is no pressure to perform. No expectation of outcome. Only an invitation to witness and respond. The sketching experience includes progressive pose intervals that allow participants to explore diverse techniques — from rapid gesture mapping to longer poses enabling deeper detailing, refined shapes, and tonal awareness. Timed intervals gently guide participants from intuitive gesture into sustained observation — supporting both beginners and experienced artists to deepen awareness while maintaining the silence and contemplative nature of the space. Between breaths and brushstrokes, you will sip “Big Love” chai tea— a gentle thread of warmth woven through the experience. This offering is intentionally intimate, limited to a maximum of 12 participants to preserve depth and connection. It is beginner-friendly and welcoming to all levels of experience, with all materials thoughtfully provided. Held in a safe, supportive, and quietly joyful environment, the space invites you to arrive open, create softly, and leave feeling connected — to yourself, to community, and to compassion. Note: this event will happen in conjunction of “Immersed in the Flow” Group art exhibition What to Bring An open heart and curious mind Comfortable clothing suitable for seated meditation and drawing A light shawl or layer for warmth A water bottle (optional) All sketching materials and chai tea are provided. Warm welcome to bring your own materials if preferred:)</image:caption>

The class is suitable for absolute beginners, as well as artists interested in learning the traditional methods of buddhist drawing and painting. You will learn how to work out the proportions of the Buddha's portrait using a traditional grid system passed down through the lineage by our  teacher, Andy Weber . The grids are the foundation of traditional art, therefore this method gives a foundation for anyone interested in learning to draw or paint a thangka (a painting usually depicting a Buddhist deity or mandala).</image:caption>

      <image:title>Upcoming Events - Mindfulness Meditation for Modern Life: Rest, Restore and Reboot - About the Teacher: Sherab Holley found Buddhism in her early twenties and has spent the last 25 years studying and practising within both the Gelug and Nyingma traditions of Tibetan Buddhism, including 14 years as a Buddhist nun. Originally from Melbourne, she was raised in a devout Christian family who instilled in her the importance of kindness, love, and care for others — as well as a deep respect for faith, community, and spirituality. Trained as a classical violinist, Sherab continues to teach and perform on the Sunshine Coast. She discovered that meditation and Buddhist practice enhance musical performance by heightening focus and easing attachment to perfectionism.</image:title>

Buddhas such as Shakyamuni and the seven Medicine Buddhas are referred to as great physicians because they have the compassion, wisdom, and skillful means to diagnose and treat the root delusions underlying all mental and physical malaise.</image:title>

      <image:title>Upcoming Events - Herbal Happiness Lanterns Workshop with Carmen &amp;nbsp;Lizasoain - About Event:</image:title>
      <image:caption>Herbal Happiness is a gentle, creative workshop where you’ll learn about herbs while enjoying the calming benefits of a mindfulness-based activity. In this session, you’ll create your own herbal lantern using pressed herbs, a glass jar and twine, while learning about the properties of the herbs and experiencing them in a variety of sensory ways. You’ll also enjoy sipping nourishing herbal tea throughout the workshop. We’ll begin with a short, calming mindfulness exercise to help you slow down and arrive fully in the space. From there, you’ll be guided into the soothing, therapeutic process of creating your herbal lantern — a hands-on, meditative experience that encourages presence, creativity and relaxation. This process is designed to gently draw you away from the noise and worries of everyday life and into the moment.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The Art of Turning News into Vision is a family-friendly creative workshop that invites participants of all ages to reimagine the newspaper as a living canvas for hope, intention, and possibility. Through gentle visualisation, guided reflection, and hands-on creative practice, children are supported to freely express their imagination and dreams, teenagers are encouraged to explore identity, confidence, and future possibilities, and adults are guided to clarify intentions, set meaningful goals, and cultivate a sense of agency over the year ahead. Creating side by side in a calm and inclusive space fosters connection, presence, and shared dreaming, while offering each participant a tangible vision piece they can revisit, update, and grow with throughout 2026.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Upcoming Events - Mantra Rolling CANCELLED - THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED DUE TO UNFORSEEN CIRCUMSTANCES&gt; We apologies for any inconvenience. About Event:</image:title>
      <image:caption>Mantra rolling is a traditional Buddhist practice carried out as part of the sacred process of filling statues and stupas, transforming them into living supports for awakening. As taught by Lama Yeshe and Lama Zopa Rinpoche, written mantras embody enlightened mind and carry profound blessings. When placed inside a statue, they help establish it as a field of merit — an object that inspires virtue, devotion, and positive transformation for all who encounter it. The act of preparing these mantras is itself a form of meditation, where intention, care, and mindfulness are as important as the physical task. The process unfolds slowly and attentively: mantras are first carefully copied onto saffron-yellow paper, then individually cut out, rolled tightly around sticks of incense, and finally bundled together in saffron-coloured cloth. Each repetitive movement invites steadiness of mind, patience, and acceptance, encouraging the practitioner to remain present with each moment as it arises. In this way, mantra rolling becomes a quiet devotional activity — a practice of service and contemplation — cultivating humility, perseverance, and a gentle connection to the continuity of lineage and tradition.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Upcoming Events - Celebrate Losar the Tibetan New Year and the &lt;span class="sqsrte-text-color--black"&gt;anniversary of Lama Yeshe’s Passing Away&lt;/span&gt;</image:title>
      <image:caption>Losar 2026: Losar is the Tibetan New Year and the first two weeks, in particular, commemorate the time when the Buddha uncharacteristically displayed his power by doing a number of miracles to win over hundreds (if not thousands) of disciples from a teacher who was a non-believer of what the Buddha taught and challenged him to a dual of mystical powers. At the end of the two week period, the Buddha had clearly won the match and as a result all present converted to the practices taught by the Buddha. The new year spawns a time of increase in virtuous activity amongst Buddhist practitioners. Any actions done during that period of time, for better or worse, are multiplied in their power by virtue of being in alignment or out of alignment with the great deeds the Buddha himself did during this same astrological period over 2,500 years ago. It is a very powerful time to practice and increase one’s commitment to both practice and study as the power of that magical event can be harnessed to assist in our personal evolution towards enlightenment</image:caption>

      <image:title>Upcoming Events - Celebrate Losar the Tibetan New Year and the &lt;span class="sqsrte-text-color--black"&gt;anniversary of Lama Yeshe’s Passing Away&lt;/span&gt;</image:title>
      <image:caption>Losar, the Anniversary of Lama Yeshe’s Passing Away For FPMT, Losar is a special time as it commemorates the anniversary of FPMT founder Lama Yeshe’s parinirvana at dawn of Losar in 1984 Since one of the very best ways to make offerings to the guru is to offer extensive Lama Chopa with tsog, Lama Zopa Rinpoche requests FPMT centers to do this practice on Losar in honor of the anniversary of Lama Yeshe’s passing away. Doing so brings about the greatest purification of negative karma and collects the most incredible merit.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Upcoming Events - Advanced Premiere Screening: Wisdom of Happiness (movie commences 6:30pm)</image:title>
      <image:caption>Join us for a special screening in the Gompa of Chenrezig Institute of Wisdom of Happiness — a profound and deeply cinematic documentary featuring Tenzin Gyatso (the Dalai Lama).

      <image:caption>Małgorzata Ola Dobrowolska is an independent documentary filmmaker whose work is rooted in her spiritual journey. Her award-winning film Bhikkhunī – Buddhism, Sri Lanka, Revolution (https://bhikkhuni-film.com) explores the revival of women’s ordination in Theravāda Buddhism. In June 2019, she left Poland to travel and make films, arriving soon after at Chenrezig Institute in Queensland, Australia. What was meant to be a stay of a few months became four transformative years. Early in her stay, she felt called to create a documentary about the center’s origin and worked on it throughout her time there. During this time, she was closely involved in daily life at the institute and, as Multimedia Coordinator, helped establish an in-house multimedia team, developing the online platform to livestream teachings and events far beyond Australia.

      <image:title>Upcoming Events - Premiere Screening: Chenrezig Institute: The Origin of Tibetan Buddhism in Australia (movie commences 6:30pm) - Film Director’s Bio</image:title>
      <image:caption>Małgorzata Ola Dobrowolska is an independent documentary filmmaker whose work is rooted in her spiritual journey. She firmly believes that lasting world peace can only be achieved through profound spiritual transformation, and this conviction is the primary motivation behind her films. Her award-winning documentary Bhikkhunī – Buddhism, Sri Lanka, Revolution (https://bhikkhuni-film.com) explores the revival of women’s ordination in Theravāda Buddhism. In June 2019, she left her home country of Poland to travel and make films. Just a few days later, she arrived at Chenrezig Institute, a Buddhist retreat and study center nestled in the hills of the Sunshine Coast hinterland in Queensland, Australia. What was meant to be a stay of a few months became four deeply transformative years. Shortly after arriving at Chenrezig Institute, she felt a strong calling to create a documentary about the center’s origin. After sharing the idea with the community, she realized it resonated with others as well. She began working on the film, a project she continued throughout her stay. For four years, Małgorzata was deeply involved in daily life and service at Chenrezig Institute. When the COVID-19 pandemic changed the world in March 2020, she had the opportunity to use her technical and multimedia background to establish an in-house multimedia team. As a Multimedia Coordinator, she played a key role in setting up and developing the institute’s online platform, livestreaming teachings and special events not only locally and regionally, but far beyond Australia.

Buddhas such as Shakyamuni and the seven Medicine Buddhas are referred to as great physicians because they have the compassion, wisdom, and skillful means to diagnose and treat the root delusions underlying all mental and physical malaise.</image:title>

      <image:title>Upcoming Events - Traditional Drawing Class with Jane Shamrock - About Event:</image:title>
      <image:caption>Come and join Jane for a gentle morning at the Chenrezig Institute Art Studio to learn how to draw the Buddha's Face. The class is suitable for absolute beginners, as well as artists interested in learning the traditional methods of buddhist drawing and painting. You will learn how to work out the proportions of the Buddha's portrait using a traditional grid system passed down through the lineage by our  teacher, Andy Weber . The grids are the foundation of traditional art, therefore this method gives a foundation for anyone interested in learning to draw or paint a thangka (a painting usually depicting a Buddhist deity or mandala).</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Marco Debie, known as Mago Menla, is a virtuoso didjeridu player from the Netherlands, devoted to inner work and community service. Twenty-seven years ago, the didjeridu — along with the guidance of his Indigenous mentors — transformed his life and led him away from a very dark path. From that turning point began a deep journey into breath, self-awareness, and meditative connection through sound.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Upcoming Events - Dragon Boats Blessing and Namgyalma Mantra Water Creatures Liberation</image:title>
      <image:caption>We warmly invite you to join us for a special and uplifting morning on the water for the Dragon Boats Blessing and Namgyalma Mantra Water Creatures Liberation. Our previous event was a deeply meaningful and joyful experience. Members of the Maroochy Sea Serpents Dragon Boat Club and Chenrezig Institute paddled together along Eudlo Creek — even a gentle morning shower couldn’t dampen the spirit of community and connection. We towed the Namgyalma Mantra boards through the water to bless and liberate all beings who come into contact with it, a practice highly recommended by Kyabje Lama Zopa Rinpoche. Geshe Tsultrim led prayers for this auspicious activity, and we extend heartfelt thanks to the Amitabha Buddhist Centre of Singapore for offering our Namgyalma Mantra Board. We are delighted to share that the Maroochy Sea Serpents Dragon Boat Club has kindly offered to take us out again, with a few Dragon Boats, each able to hold 20 people. Geshe Tsultrim will lead the prayers and blessing ceremony as we tow the Namgyalma Mantra boards along the creek. Everyone is warmly welcome to join. Please wear clothing appropriate for boating.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Upcoming Events - Traditional Drawing Class with Jane Shamrock - About Event:</image:title>
      <image:caption>Come and join Jane for a gentle morning at the Chenrezig Institute Art Studio to learn how to draw the Buddha's Face. The class is suitable for absolute beginners, as well as artists interested in learning the traditional methods of buddhist drawing and painting. You will learn how to work out the proportions of the Buddha's portrait using a traditional grid system passed down through the lineage by our  teacher, Andy Weber . The grids are the foundation of traditional art, therefore this method gives a foundation for anyone interested in learning to draw or paint a thangka (a painting usually depicting a Buddhist deity or mandala).</image:caption>

      <image:title>Upcoming Events - Mindfulness Meditation for Modern Life: Rest, Restore and Reboot - About the Teacher: Sherab Holley found Buddhism in her early twenties and has spent the last 25 years studying and practising within both the Gelug and Nyingma traditions of Tibetan Buddhism, including 14 years as a Buddhist nun. Originally from Melbourne, she was raised in a devout Christian family who instilled in her the importance of kindness, love, and care for others — as well as a deep respect for faith, community, and spirituality. Trained as a classical violinist, Sherab continues to teach and perform on the Sunshine Coast. She discovered that meditation and Buddhist practice enhance musical performance by heightening focus and easing attachment to perfectionism.</image:title>

      <image:title>Upcoming Events - Yoga + Meditation Retreat for Calm and Stillness with Erin Lee - About event:</image:title>
      <image:caption>During this 3-night/4-day Yoga + Meditation Retreat, you’ll participate in gentle embodied practices (asana, pranayama) and guided concentration and contemplative meditations, to reawaken/deepen your mindfulness and introspection practice for greater inner calm and stillness. Throughout this retreat, you’ll be guided to maintain your mindfulness practice during all scheduled activities AND you’ll also be encouraged to maintain the practice between scheduled sessions. In honour of this, both Saturday and Sunday morning will be in noble silence (up until 12pm lunch break).  With plenty of space offered in the schedule, you’ll have time to enjoy the grounds of Chenrezig Institute, maybe even read one of the books located in the onsite library, or just have some time to yourself.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Upcoming Events - Yoga + Meditation Retreat for Calm and Stillness with Erin Lee - About event:</image:title>
      <image:caption>During this 3-night/4-day Yoga + Meditation Retreat, you’ll participate in gentle embodied practices (asana, pranayama) and guided concentration and contemplative meditations, to reawaken/deepen your mindfulness and introspection practice for greater inner calm and stillness. Throughout this retreat, you’ll be guided to maintain your mindfulness practice during all scheduled activities AND you’ll also be encouraged to maintain the practice between scheduled sessions. In honour of this, both Saturday and Sunday morning will be in noble silence (up until 12pm lunch break).  With plenty of space offered in the schedule, you’ll have time to enjoy the grounds of Chenrezig Institute, maybe even read one of the books located in the onsite library, or just have some time to yourself.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Upcoming Events - November Soul Food and Soundscapes with Manoa Music - This month, Soul Foods &amp; Soundscapes welcomes Manoa — California-born, Australian-based roots artist Steve Manoa, joined by his Swedish songstress wife Caroline. Together, they weave a vibrant tapestry of folk melodies and reggae-inspired grooves, offering music that is both heart-opening and deeply grounding. Their songs carry uplifting messages of nature connection, personal growth, and transformation — an invitation to slow down, listen deeply, and reconnect with the living world. Having played festivals such as Woodford Folk Festival and supported well-loved roots musicians like Nahko, Satsang, and Murray Kyle, Manoa’s music is more than a performance — it’s an experience that nourishes body, mind, and spirit. With a PhD in Ecopsychology &amp; Environmental Education, Steve integrates ecological wisdom into his workshops and retreats, while Caroline brings the rich tradition of Scandinavian folk music, her voice carrying the warmth and joy of community.</image:title>

      <image:title>Upcoming Events - Mindfulness in Motion Weekend with Ven. Tsultrim - About Event:</image:title>
      <image:caption>The Mindfulness weekend is called Mindfulness in Motion - how to have peaceful mind in everyday life. We can learn to use mindfulness to live our daily life more deliberately and consciously. To be aware of our thoughts, feelings and emotions and how they directly affect our actions and responses to what life throws up at us.  This weekend course will offer tools and techniques to become more aware of our thoughts and feelings and how they influence and direct our actions.  We will learn ways to recognise helpful versus unhelpful thinking in order to become the master of our thoughts and feelings rather than their slave and to develop a more peaceful and content state of mind no matter what life brings us.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>At the request of our precious teacher, the infinitely kind Lama Zopa Rinpoche, we schedule a Mani Retreat each year and have done so since Rinpoche himself attended the first retreat with us in 2000. The practice engaged in is one written By His Holiness Dalai Lama himself and is a profound method for generating compassion for all. Retreaters should plan to attend an introductory session at 6.30pm on Friday 3rd October but are encouraged to come and help prepare the gompa during the afternoon at 3:30pm. The retreat will continue with four sessions of led meditations per day, sessions which include visualising Chenrezig (Avalokiteshvara), generating great compassion for all beings, and reciting the mantra of Chenrezig OM MANI PADME HUM, until the morning of Friday, 10th October. All are welcome to attend this beautiful retreat. There is no need to have taken the initiation. Materials and support will be provided.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Upcoming Events - Kopan-Down-Under Lamrim Retreat Course 2026 - About Event: Many of our students were initially inspired by the courses offered by our ‘mother’ centre, Kopan Monastery outside Kathmandu, where Lama Thubten Yeshe and Lama Zopa Rinpoche started teaching Westerners in the late sixties.

      <image:title>Upcoming Events - Wheel of Life - Weekend Teaching with Geshe Tsultrim</image:title>
      <image:caption>About the Event: Dharma practice entails more than simply identifying as a Buddhist or making small changes to how we live. At its heart, it’s about gradually and sincerely bringing the teachings into our mind — allowing them to touch and transform us from within. For this inner transformation to take root, we first need to develop a stable foundation — a deep sense of spiritual clarity and renunciation. In Tibetan, the word for renunciation, nges-jung, points to a clear recognition: that we are caught in the cycle of rebirth, known as samsara — a state marked by continual dissatisfaction and suffering. So at the beginning of our journey, it’s essential to gently open our eyes to the true nature of samsara and reflect on how we are caught within it. This honest awareness — however subtle or gradual — is a crucial first step. It helps us turn the mind toward something deeper and more lasting, and gives real meaning to our wish for freedom.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Upcoming Events - Traditional Drawing Class with Jane Shamrock - About Event:</image:title>
      <image:caption>Come and join Jane for a gentle morning at the Chenrezig Institute Art Studio to learn how to draw the Buddha's Face. The class is suitable for absolute beginners, as well as artists interested in learning the traditional methods of buddhist drawing and painting. You will learn how to work out the proportions of the Buddha's portrait using a traditional grid system passed down through the lineage by our  teacher, Andy Weber . The grids are the foundation of traditional art, therefore this method gives a foundation for anyone interested in learning to draw or paint a thangka (a painting usually depicting a Buddhist deity or mandala).</image:caption>

      <image:title>Upcoming Events - Annual Vajrasattva Purification Retreat with Ven. Carla Tsultrim - About Event: The practice of Vajrasattva is a purification practice common to all schools of Tibetan Buddhism. It is done in conjunction with visualization, recitation of mantras and the application of the four opponent powers of purification (the skilfully applied powers of regret, reliance, the antidote and commitment). According to Lama Zopa Rinpoche: ‘Vajrasattva practice is so important generally, and especially nowadays in the world, when there is not only global warming and many other problems. There are so many other dangers of war and sickness, cancer and covid and so many people you know are dying. There are so many illnesses and other conditions for dying.’</image:title>

      <image:title>Upcoming Events - Yoga + Meditation Retreat for Calm and Stillness with Erin Lee - About event:</image:title>
      <image:caption>During this 3-night/4-day Yoga + Meditation Retreat, you’ll participate in gentle embodied practices (asana, pranayama) and guided concentration and contemplative meditations, to reawaken/deepen your mindfulness and introspection practice for greater inner calm and stillness. Throughout this retreat, you’ll be guided to maintain your mindfulness practice during all scheduled activities AND you’ll also be encouraged to maintain the practice between scheduled sessions. In honour of this, both Saturday and Sunday morning will be in noble silence (up until 12pm lunch break).  With plenty of space offered in the schedule, you’ll have time to enjoy the grounds of Chenrezig Institute, maybe even read one of the books located in the onsite library, or just have some time to yourself.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Upcoming Events - CANCELLED - Naturally Dyed and Printed Prayer Flags with Jenai Hooke - About the presenter:</image:title>
      <image:caption>Drawing on traditions of India, Japan, Mexico and beyond, Jenai’s textiles and mixed media artwork tell stories deeply rooted in nature, expressing the marriage of plant colour to fibre. Her cloth retains its Prana, unadulterated by toxic processes: fibres grown and processed sustainably before colouring with plants harvested from her garden and surrounding bushland. These textiles reflect the care and strong connection to land and spirit, present at every stage of their evolution; invoking a feeling of balance and wellbeing in all those that view, wear, touch or connect with these ancient crafts.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Upcoming Events - Special Chokhor Duchen Heart Sutra Retreat with Geshe Tsultrim</image:title>
      <image:caption>About the Event: This special Chokhor Duchen three day retreat will focus on the text - The Heart of the Perfection of Wisdom Sutra, more simply known as the Heart Sutra. It is a powerful text to study to create the conditions for having a direct realization of emptiness. Chokhor Duchen, known in English as “Turning the Wheel of Dharma,” commemorates the anniversary of Guru Shakyamuni Buddha’s first teaching. It is said that for seven weeks after his enlightenment, the Buddha did not teach. Afterward, Indra and Brahma offered a Dharmachakra and a conch shell and requested Guru Shakyamuni Buddha to teach. Accepting, Guru Shakyamuni Buddha turned the wheel of Dharma for the first time at Sarnath by teaching the four noble truths.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Upcoming Events - Special Chokhor Duchen Heart Sutra Retreat with Geshe Tsultrim - Lama Zopa Rinpoche has explained that the only thing that can directly cut ignorance, which is the root of suffering and samsara, is wisdom realizing emptiness. There are many teachings on emptiness, but these teachings are found condensed in the Heart Sutra. Just hearing the Heart Sutra, or reading it, Rinpoche tells us, leaves a positive imprint to be free of samsara and to actualize the path, achieving enlightenment to free numberless sentient beings from oceans of samsara and bring them to enlightenment.</image:title>

      <image:title>Upcoming Events - Traditional Drawing Class with Jane Shamrock - About Event:</image:title>
      <image:caption>Come and join Jane for a gentle morning at the Chenrezig Institute Art Studio to learn how to draw the Buddha's Face. The class is suitable for absolute beginners, as well as artists interested in learning the traditional methods of buddhist drawing and painting. You will learn how to work out the proportions of the Buddha's portrait using a traditional grid system passed down through the lineage by our  teacher, Andy Weber . The grids are the foundation of traditional art, therefore this method gives a foundation for anyone interested in learning to draw or paint a thangka (a painting usually depicting a Buddhist deity or mandala).</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Glynn Kellys initial training was at UNSW  as part of his Architecture course in watercolours. This led to a lifetime of sketching and drawing outdoors. When Glynn retired in 2016, he studied at the Brisbane Atelier in classical oil painting techniques. His two passions are Plein Air and Still Life. He loves to capture the fleeting moment as light rakes across the landscape. Still Life is much more controlled and allows the artist to develop at theme over time.

He has an astounding collection of quality trees, of many different species/varieties and styles. Diederik started practicing Bonsai 35 years ago. During that time Bodhidharma Bonsai was launched in Daylesford Victoria, specialising in collected Yamadori (out of the wild) trees. This nursery was in operation for 20 years which included lecturing enthusiasts at local bonsai associations. Diederik moved to Queensland in 2019 and still enjoys his passion for bonsai and is excited to be able to share this passion with others at Chenrezig Institute. Diedrick has been invited by Tenzin, our regular Bonsai Master at Chenrezig Institute.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Upcoming Events - The Power of Guru Devotion and the Tantric Path - with Geshe Tenzin Zopa</image:title>
      <image:caption>About Event: One of the most important knowledge areas, one of the most important instructions and one of the most important practices, among all the stages of the path, is relying on the Guru, the Guru devotion, and the Guru yoga practice. The main reason for that is as a spiritual seeker, as a follower of the Dharma, if the practice of relying on the spiritual teacher goes wrong, then the entire rest of the journey of the spiritual path will go wrong. If relying on the spiritual teacher goes right, then the rest of the development of the different stages of the path will go right.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Upcoming Events - 37 Practices of a Bodhisattva - Teaching Weekend with Geshe Tsultrim</image:title>
      <image:caption>About the Event: This weekend will be based on the 37 Practices of Bodhisattva, a text by Togmay Sangpo, one of the great bodhisattvas who became an Arya Bodhisattva within a very short period through practicing the 37 practices. He then revealed this teaching in a condensed and practical way so that beings like us will be able to immediately apply them in our every day life. Togmay Sangpo (1297-1371), was born in Puljung, south west of the great Sakya Monastery. An extremely learned scholar, he studied an infinite number of teachings from all traditions. His every instant was devoted to the Dharma which he spread through composition, teaching and debate.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Upcoming Events - Living Peacefully: How to Create Inner Peace and a Happier World - Weekend Course with Ven. Carla Tsultrim&amp;nbsp; - About Event:</image:title>
      <image:caption>Living peacefully relates to 3 things…how we think, how we speak and how we act.  The basic principle of living peacefully is to live ethically and the basic principle of living ethically is to consider others. Built on a wholehearted concern for others based in developing our compassion and wisdom, living our lives peacefully benefits both others and ourselves.  We can develop a state of mind that wishes to consciously participate in cultivating more co-operative, supportive and harmonious relationships whether with our family and friends, our community or the world and all its inhabitants.  But in order to do to this we must consider many aspects of our own mind, our own lives and our own relationship to the world around us.  This weekend course explores how our thoughts, words and actions directly affect our ability to live peacefully and ethically. We consider what we can do right now and into the future to ensure a life lived well both for ourselves and others.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Come join Resma Karki in the Chenrezig Art Studio to learn the art of Gold Leafing.  In this workshop, we will guide students through the process of applying gold leaf to a small Buddha statue called a tsa tsa. The creation of, as well as the offering of paint/ gold to sacred objects such as tsa tsas, statues, and stupas, is a practice that is said to result in great merit and positive energy for the practitioner as well as the recipient. Tsatsas make wonderful additions to an altar, mantelpiece, or any other clean, respectful location.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Upcoming Events - Anniversary of Lama Zopa Rinpoche Showing the Aspect of Passing Away 2025</image:title>
      <image:caption>April 13, 2025 marks the two-year anniversary of Lama Zopa Rinpoche showing the aspect of passing away. Please join us in coming together to celebrate the Life and Teachings of our precious Lama Zopa Rinpoche with Guru Puja, Lama Chopa Tsog with extensive light offerings, 6:30 pm in the main Gompa, all welcome to attend. We want to remind students about a text translated by Rinpoche, Advice for the Anniversary of the Guru’s Passing Away which is a short text that explains the importance of making offerings on the anniversary of the passing away of one’s guru. It sets out the benefits of making offerings, how to make the offerings with six remembrances, and how to offer and dedicate the roots of virtue collected. As Rinpoche explains in the foreword of this text, “Making offerings on the death anniversary of a guru is an incredible practice in that it brings about the greatest purification of negative karma and collects the most extensive merit.”</image:caption>

      <image:title>Upcoming Events - Three Day Lamrim Meditation Retreat with Ven Tony Beaumont - About Event: “The most important and best way to benefit others is to develop your heart and mind on the path to enlightenment. When you complete the path to enlightenment you will be fully qualified to liberate numberless sentient beings from oceans of samsaric suffering and bring them to full enlightenment. This is what sentient beings need and this is what is most beneficial for them. There is no greater success than this. This depends upon your actualizing the path to enlightenment by meditating on the lamrim.”  Lama Zopa Rinpoche</image:title>

      <image:title>Upcoming Events - Pigment Masterclass - with Sally Peters - About Event:</image:title>
      <image:caption>Thangka paintings are composed of different hues of pigments. Traditionally, natural stone  colors, plant dyes, natural binders and soft gold were primarily used to create these holy images. Although today many artists use modern paints such as acrylics, some thangka painters are still  learning and passing on the knowledge of how to combine these vibrant water-soluble paints.  Traditional thangka painters are then taught how to blend specific colours to use in various elements of the deity and landscape design. Join Sally Peters for this Pigment Masterclass, in which Sally will go over the correct way to prepare raw pigments and stone colours for thangka artworks. Each participant will create a colour chart to take home for use as a reference in their own painting process.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Upcoming Events - Pigment Masterclass - with Sally Peters - About Teacher:</image:title>
      <image:caption>Born in Melbourne, Sally Peters directed and owned Alchemy Art Gallery in Melbourne for 6 years exhibiting artists from all over Australia. In 2004 Sally completed a Visual Arts Diploma, specialising inarts, crafts and community events during which time she developed a children’s’ mindfulness class incorporating mandalas, meditation and movement for wellbeing. Throughout the 2000s she exhibited her paintings at WomenSpace, Circle Bookshop as well as developed a holistic healing path and curated various exhibitions, art happenings in and around Brisbane. In 2010 whist researching spiritual art for her Master’s degree, Sally met Andy Weber and started a journey of sacred Tibetan Art at Chenrezig Institute and Langri Tangpa Centre the following year after gaining her Masters in Contemporary Gallery Practices at the University of Tasmania. Sally also has studied briefly with Karma Phunstok on retreat at his studio and at the Tibetan Festival workshops at the Powerhouse Brisbane. The prime interest of the esoteric, iconography, meditation and healing/self-development has led her deeper into the beautiful world of sacred Tibetan Art and the teachings. Her focus of spiritual development through meditation and the Tibetan Thangka arts has been key for her practice. Developing from using gouache and polymer paint to pigment and stone colour and pure gold paints over the last few years has increased the depth of the artworks integrity.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Come and join Jane for a gentle morning at the Chenrezig Institute Art Studio to learn how to draw the Buddha's Face. The class is suitable for absolute beginners, as well as artists interested in learning the traditional methods of buddhist drawing and painting. You will learn how to work out the proportions of the Buddha's portrait using a traditional grid system passed down through the lineage by our  teacher, Andy Weber . The grids are the foundation of traditional art, therefore this method gives a foundation for anyone interested in learning to draw or paint a thangka (a painting usually depicting a Buddhist deity or mandala).</image:caption>

      <image:title>Upcoming Events - WILD BASKET WORKSHOP  with Judith and Richard Wolski - About Event:</image:title>
      <image:caption>In this Wild Baskets workshop we will be making a Melon Basket which is constructed with a circle inside a circle and joined at right angles with a stitch called a Godseye.  Ribs are then added to construct the bowl shape. The basket will be approximately 22cm in height and diameter. The materials we will be using are foraged fibers: Weed Vines collected from Sunshine Coast Hinterland properties and a variety of leaves and vines collected from our Property in Diamond Valley. We will also use cordage made from various leaves. We make sure everyone goes home with a finished Wild Basket.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Upcoming Events - WILD BASKET WORKSHOP  with Judith and Richard Wolski - Workshop Facilitators:</image:title>
      <image:caption>Judith and Richard have conducted many workshops right across Queensland and NSW, with they’re use of natural fibres for  WILD BASKETS developed over 30 years ago. Judith is  the weaver and Richard is the ‘Hunter Gatherer’. Their craft grew out of their dedication to protect native bush and its inhabitants, together with their enthusiasm to be creative using normally discarded items. They joined local land conservation groups to help relieve the bush of destructive weeds and vines and started experimenting in weaving with them. Judith's interest in basket weaving began as a child. Her grandmother lost her sight and basket weaving was one of her therapies. Jude would visit and they would make baskets together.  As an adult, Judith learnt some valuable traditional basket weaving techniques using natural plant fibres from a lady who had spent many years in New Guinea and Arnhem Land. She started experimenting with local plant fibres available in the Central Queensland region and soon developed her own style and techniques. Both Richard and Judith have been living on the Sunshine Coast since 2000 and decided to grow as many weaving plants as possible.  They sell their Wild Baskets from their Gallery at home and have exhibited in the Chenrezig Wellbeing Centre exhibitions on several occasions.    The art of Weaving with natural plant fibres is a craft which can inspire creativity, and the materials are available all around us.</image:caption>

The practice involves offering a stream of water to Dzambhala and is chanted in both English and Sanskrit. It takes about 60 minutes to complete.</image:title>

      <image:title>Upcoming Events - Practical Mind Training: An 8-Week Mindfulness Course - About Event: Mindfulness is everywhere at the moment but what’s the point? Is it just being present? Is that it?  In this 8-week course led by Ben Isbel you will learn how to develop your own authentic mindfulness practice. Through understanding the practice clearly, we will see how to effortlessly sidestep many of the difficulties we face in mindfulness and meditation.  Each week you will be supported to deepen and refine your experience, allowing you to move beyond just an intellectual understanding of this profound practice. Mindfulness is grounded in the Buddha’s teachings, and so this simple practice can lead us directly into the heart of the Buddha’s wisdom. In this way, we come to see how the practice of mindfulness can take us far beyond what we may have thought possible.  There is no Buddhist path where mindfulness is not the core and Vipassana (Insight) is not the objective. As such, mindfulness is the essential foundation of all our practices, no matter which path we undertake. Course Materials and Requirements  After each session you will receive handout materials covering all of the content discussed each week. In this way you can simply focus on integrating the instructions during class without trying to remember everything, while the handouts enable you to review the material each week at home.  You will also be asked to do some daily home practice for the duration of the course. The aim of this course is to develop an experiential understanding of the practice, rather than an intellectual understanding. We cannot read our way into mindfulness. We cannot think our way into mindfulness. We can only practice our way into mindfulness. For this reason, daily home practice is a vital component of the program.   Event Schedule: Every Thursdays: 10am – 12pm Thursday 3th April – Thursday 22nd May 2025 Wellbeing Centre</image:title>

      <image:caption>During this 3-night/4-day Yoga + Meditation Retreat, you’ll participate in gentle embodied practices (asana, pranayama) and guided concentration and contemplative meditations, to reawaken/deepen your mindfulness and introspection practice for greater inner calm and stillness. Throughout this retreat, you’ll be guided to maintain your mindfulness practice during all scheduled activities AND you’ll also be encouraged to maintain the practice between scheduled sessions. In honour of this, both Saturday and Sunday morning will be in noble silence (up until 12pm lunch break).  With plenty of space offered in the schedule, you’ll have time to enjoy the grounds of Chenrezig Institute, maybe even read one of the books located in the onsite library, or just have some time to yourself.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Upcoming Events - Dorje Khadro Fire Puja - About event: Dorje Khadro Fire Puja is a powerful Mahayana purification practice.  Throughout the year, it is easy to make mistakes by doing negative actions of body (physical), speech (verbal), and mind (thoughts), thereby creating harmful karmic seeds that will eventually ripen as suffering, or "complications" as Geshe Gelek says.  This annual event offers an opportunity to go into the new year with a relatively clean slate.  Bring along your family and friends for this purification practice where we burn black sesame seeds (provided) which symbolize our past negative karmic actions.</image:title>

      <image:title>Upcoming Events - Celebrate Losar - Tibetan New Year at Chenrezig Institute</image:title>
      <image:caption>Losar 2025: Losar is the Tibetan New Year and the first two weeks, in particular, commemorate the time when the Buddha uncharacteristically displayed his power by doing a number of miracles to win over hundreds (if not thousands) of disciples from a teacher who was a non-believer of what the Buddha taught and challenged him to a dual of mystical powers. At the end of the two week period, the Buddha had clearly won the match and as a result all present converted to the practices taught by the Buddha. The new year spawns a time of increase in virtuous activity amongst Buddhist practitioners. Any actions done during that period of time, for better or worse, are multiplied in their power by virtue of being in alignment or out of alignment with the great deeds the Buddha himself did during this same astrological period over 2,500 years ago. It is a very powerful time to practice and increase one’s commitment to both practice and study as the power of that magical event can be harnessed to assist in our personal evolution towards enlightenment</image:caption>

      <image:title>Upcoming Events - Celebrate Losar - Tibetan New Year at Chenrezig Institute</image:title>
      <image:caption>Losar, the Anniversary of Lama Yeshe’s Passing Away For FPMT, Losar is a special time as it commemorates the anniversary of FPMT founder Lama Yeshe’s parinirvana at dawn of Losar in 1984 Since one of the very best ways to make offerings to the guru is to offer extensive Lama Chopa with tsog, Lama Zopa Rinpoche requests FPMT centers to do this practice on Losar in honor of the anniversary of Lama Yeshe’s passing away. Doing so brings about the greatest purification of negative karma and collects the most incredible merit.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Upcoming Events - Practical Mind Training: An 8-Week Mindfulness Course - About Event: Mindfulness is everywhere at the moment but what’s the point? Is it just being present? Is that it?  In this 8-week course led by Ben Isbel you will learn how to develop your own authentic mindfulness practice. Through understanding the practice clearly, we will see how to effortlessly sidestep many of the difficulties we face in mindfulness and meditation.  Each week you will be supported to deepen and refine your experience, allowing you to move beyond just an intellectual understanding of this profound practice. Mindfulness is grounded in the Buddha’s teachings, and so this simple practice can lead us directly into the heart of the Buddha’s wisdom. In this way, we come to see how the practice of mindfulness can take us far beyond what we may have thought possible.  There is no Buddhist path where mindfulness is not the core and Vipassana (Insight) is not the objective. As such, mindfulness is the essential foundation of all our practices, no matter which path we undertake. Course Materials and Requirements  After each session you will receive handout materials covering all of the content discussed each week. In this way you can simply focus on integrating the instructions during class without trying to remember everything, while the handouts enable you to review the material each week at home.  You will also be asked to do some daily home practice for the duration of the course. The aim of this course is to develop an experiential understanding of the practice, rather than an intellectual understanding. We cannot read our way into mindfulness. We cannot think our way into mindfulness. We can only practice our way into mindfulness. For this reason, daily home practice is a vital component of the program.   Event Schedule: Every Thursdays: 10am – 12pm Thursday 3th April – Thursday 22nd May 2025 Wellbeing Centre</image:title>

Is that it?  In this 8-week course led by Ben Isbel you will learn how to develop your own authentic mindfulness practice. Through understanding the practice clearly, we will see how to effortlessly sidestep many of the difficulties we face in mindfulness and meditation.  Each week you will be supported to deepen and refine your experience, allowing you to move beyond just an intellectual understanding of this profound practice. Mindfulness is grounded in the Buddha’s teachings, and so this simple practice can lead us directly into the heart of the Buddha’s wisdom. In this way, we come to see how the practice of mindfulness can take us far beyond what we may have thought possible.  There is no Buddhist path where mindfulness is not the core and Vipassana (Insight) is not the objective. As such, mindfulness is the essential foundation of all our practices, no matter which path we undertake. Course Materials and Requirements  After each session you will receive handout materials covering all of the content discussed each week. In this way you can simply focus on integrating the instructions during class without trying to remember everything, while the handouts enable you to review the material each week at home.  You will also be asked to do some daily home practice for the duration of the course. The aim of this course is to develop an experiential understanding of the practice, rather than an intellectual understanding. We cannot read our way into mindfulness. We cannot think our way into mindfulness. We can only practice our way into mindfulness. For this reason, daily home practice is a vital component of the program.   Event Schedule: Every Thursdays: 10am – 12pm Thursday 3th April – Thursday 22nd May 2025 Wellbeing Centre</image:title>

      <image:title>Upcoming Events - Weekend Retreat: Three Principal Aspects of the Path with Geshe Tsultrim</image:title>
      <image:caption>About the Event: This weekend retreat will focus on the text - Three Principal Aspects of the Path by Lama Tsongkhapa. This seminal text by Lama Tsongkhapa describes the three principal aspects of the path—the intention to be free (renunciation), the mind of enlightenment (bodhicitta), and the right view of the wisdom realizing emptiness—how to cultivate them, and how to know when you have realized them. These three are called the principal, essential paths to liberation.</image:caption>

Participants should be able to attend both days (ie: attending only on day 2 will not be permitted, as day 2 relies on having attended day 1). Mindfulness is everywhere at the moment—in schools, wellbeing centres, psychology clinics, and business boardrooms. But what’s the point? Is it really just being present? Is that it?</image:title>

      <image:title>Upcoming Events - Easter Retreat 2025 – Lama Tsongkhapa Guru Yoga with Geshe Tsultrim</image:title>
      <image:caption>About the Event: This year’s Easter retreat will focus on the beautiful practice of Lama Tsongkhapa Guru Yoga. Lama Tsongkhapa Guru Yoga is a particularly powerful practice for receiving the blessings of one’s personal teacher and developing the realization of guru devotion. Also known as the Hundred Deities of Tushita (Ganden Lha Gyäma), it is a seven-limb practice related to Lama Tsongkhapa, the great Tibetan scholar, saint, and yogi of the 14th century who founded the Gelug tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. To supplement and complete this short text, Kyabje Lama Zopa Rinpoche has added a preliminary practice of the Four Immeasurable Thoughts, the lamrim prayer Foundation of All Good Qualities by Lama Tsongkhapa.</image:caption>

Being the kind, generous and innovative lady that she is, Nessy offered to come and demonstrate a few new and nifty techniques in painting statues at the art studio, which have added a sparkle to the gallery shop.  Now Nessy has humbly agreed to our invitation for her to share her techniques with others, with the hope that participants will get to enjoy the pleasure of her sweet company and the experience of painting in the CI Art Studio.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Upcoming Events - Special Weekend with Geshe Doga and Sera Jey Monks - About the Teacher: Venerable Geshe Lobsang Dorje Doga was born in July 1935 in a small village called Khanze, situated in a valley in the remote Kham region of North-East Tibet. He arrived in Australia on January 1, 1983, having been invited by  Lama Yeshe to become the resident teacher at Atisha Centre, our sister centre near Bendigo.    Geshe Doga became resident teacher at Tara Institute (Melbourne) in September 1984.  His first teachings were from Shantideva’s “Guide to a Bodhisattva’s Way of Life” and “Lo Rig” or mind and its functions.   Over the years, Tara Institute has grown enormously thanks to the confidence that Geshe Doga’s patient and lucid guidance Lama Zopa Rinpoche always asks us to treasure Geshela and to heed his advice.</image:title>

      <image:title>Upcoming Events - Intermediate Gel Plate Printing Workshop with Maisie-Jane - About Event:</image:title>
      <image:caption>At this next Art Studio Gel-Plate Printing Workshop, Maisie Jane is going to be adding new techniques to those brought in the beginner workshops! Let’s go bigger! I have five A3 gel plates available for this session, plus several smaller sizes. For those who have previous experience you may wish to use a larger plate. In this workshop, suited to the intermediate student as well as the beginner, we’ll go a bit deeper with our experiments with gel plate print methods, exploring monochrome, ghost prints, layering and the comparative results from different paint brands and paper.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Upcoming Events - Intermediate Gel Plate Printing Workshop with Maisie-Jane - "Gelatin plate printing offers an immersive, hands-on experience that captivates creative minds of all ages."</image:title>
      <image:caption>Everything needed for you to learn and use the process will be provided. However you may wish to pick a few botanical samples to play with. Soft smallish leaves work well. You can also bring some thin stencils. Gel plate printing is an easy to learn art printing technique requiring no prior experience in print methods, or indeed art. It is a mono printing process – that is every individual print is unique. This sets it apart from, for example, lino-cut or woodblock prints where a succession (edition) of near identical images is printed off. The spontaneity of the method allows – indeed encourages  – explorations and it is good to “expect the unexpected” when producing images. Once the basic technique is acquired many possibilities open up. Most of all it is fun!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>From 2023 to 2025 Maisie-Jane has taught small introductory workshops in gel-plate printing methods both in Queensland and Bali. This will be her fifth offering at Chenrezig Art Studios. She is currently in her second creative period as an artist. In the late 1970s, she specialised in painting mandalas with gouache, utilising sacred geometry as a foundational design element. Her artistic repertoire also included lino-cut and woodblock techniques for crafting smaller pieces. https://maisie-jane-art.com/</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The Chenrezig Institute Art Studio is happy to host some intimate workshops with Nessy Kalns, who will be guiding participants in painting outdoor or indoor sculptures. Nessy will demonstrate the technique of graphite rendering and burnishing, creating a more accentuated, even antique-looking result. Participants will be able to choose from a variety of plaster or concrete statues made at the Art Studio, which they can purchase on the day, paint and take home with them. Paints, graphite, brushes and other materials will be provided as part of the workshop. Conducted in a sheltered-outdoor part of the Studio that overlooks the forest, these open air workshops are limited to four participants at a time.</image:caption>

Being the kind, generous and innovative lady that she is, Nessy offered to come and demonstrate a few new and nifty techniques in painting statues at the art studio, which have added a sparkle to the gallery shop.  Now Nessy has humbly agreed to our invitation for her to share her techniques with others, with the hope that participants will get to enjoy the pleasure of her sweet company and the experience of painting in the CI Art Studio.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>About the Event: “First you should have the foundation in mind. In order to enter the Tantrayana path you need to receive an initiation. To enter the Highest Yoga Tantra path, Maha-anuttara Tantra, you must receive an initiation into the Maha-anuttara Tantra path. To be granted the initiation it is desirable that the mind should be enriched in the three principal aspects of the path: the thought to renounce samsara, bodhicitta and the wisdom realizing emptiness. A mind that has these fundamental realizations is the perfect receptacle for the initiation.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Upcoming Events - Medicine Buddha Retreat combined with Teaching on Bodhicitta with Geshe Thubten Sherab - About Event: This special event for the centre will be a three days full of teachings and practice with our visitor, Geshe Sherab. Many eons ago, seven bodhisattvas strongly prayed for the temporal and ultimate happiness of all sentient beings and that their names would become wish-fulfilling in order to heal both the mental and physical sicknesses and diseases of sentient beings.</image:title>
      <image:caption>They vowed that their prayers would be actualized during these degenerate times when the teachings of Shakyamuni Buddha are in decline.  When they became enlightened, one of the ten powers of a Buddha is the power of prayer – that means that all the prayers that have been made get fulfilled.  As the Buddha’s holy speech is irrevocable, you can wholly trust in their power to quickly grant blessings to help all sentient beings in these degenerate times.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Upcoming Events - Medicine Buddha Retreat combined with Teaching on Bodhicitta with Geshe Thubten Sherab</image:title>
      <image:caption>Geshe Thubten Sherab was born in Nepal of Tibetan parents, and received his education at Kopan Monastery, Nepal, the spiritual center of the FPMT. He completed his studies at Sera Jey Monastic University and at Gyume Tantric College in India. He has lived in the USA working at the FPMT Central office and several nearby Dharma Centers in Taos, New Mexico. He returned to Nepal after several years in the U.S. to become Headmaster of Kopan Monastery. Geshe-la has retired from the this role in order to have more time to devote to meditation and to teaching internationally. For the last few years, he has been travelling and teaching at FPMT Centers in USA, Canada, Mexico, Asia and Europe.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Upcoming Events - Postponed - Three Day Lamrim Meditation Retreat with Ven Tony Beaumont - About Event: “The most important and best way to benefit others is to develop your heart and mind on the path to enlightenment. When you complete the path to enlightenment you will be fully qualified to liberate numberless sentient beings from oceans of samsaric suffering and bring them to full enlightenment. This is what sentient beings need and this is what is most beneficial for them. There is no greater success than this. This depends upon your actualizing the path to enlightenment by meditating on the lamrim.”  Lama Zopa Rinpoche</image:title>

      <image:title>Upcoming Events - Kopan-Down-Under Lamrim Retreat Course 2025 - About Event: Many of our students were initially inspired by the courses offered by our ‘mother’ centre, Kopan Monastery outside Kathmandu, where Lama Thubten Yeshe and Lama Zopa Rinpoche started teaching Westerners in the late sixties. The one-month courses given there became world famous, and many of the early students then went on to establish FPMT centres throughout the world, including Chenrezig Institute. The courses were based on the Lamrim, a teaching of a complete and gradual spiritual path leading to enlightenment. In 1974 Lama Yeshe and Lama Zopa Rinpoche taught the first of these courses in the west in a valley nearby and from this exciting beginning 50 years ago, our centre here in Eudlo was created. The Lamas continued to visit and teach often in the early years and we continue to offer these teachings annually in our Kopan-Down-Under Retreat…</image:title>

      <image:title>Upcoming Events - Annual Vajrasattva Purification Retreat : December 2024 - About Event: The practice of Vajrasattva is a purification practice common to all schools of Tibetan Buddhism. It is done in conjunction with visualization, recitation of mantras and the application of the four opponent powers of purification (the skilfully applied powers of regret, reliance, the antidote and commitment). According to Lama Zopa Rinpoche: ‘Vajrasattva practice is so important generally, and especially nowadays in the world, when there is not only global warming and many other problems. There are so many other dangers of war and sickness, cancer and covid and so many people you know are dying. There are so many illnesses and other conditions for dying.’</image:title>

The creation of, as well as the offering of paint/ gold to sacred objects such as tsa tsas, statues, and stupas, is a practice that is said to result in great merit and positive energy for the practitioner as well as the recipient. Tsatsas make wonderful additions to an altar, mantelpiece or any other clean, respectful location.</image:title>

      <image:title>Upcoming Events - Gold Leaf Workshop with Garrey Foulkes - About Teacher: Garrey Foulkes first learned  the basic techniques for  applying soft gold and gold-leafing about 50 years ago. After a lot of trial and error he finally had the opportunity to take lessons from a Taiwanese expert called Chun Roo who was invited to gold-leaf a very large statue at the Great Stupa in Bendigo. She knew all the tricks, which Garrey will kindly shared with course participants. Garrey Foulkes is a founding member of the Chenrezig Institute. Having been involved since it’s inception, Garrey has spent a large amount of that time developing the creative aspects of CI and its holy objects, overseeing the building of the Garden of Enlightenment and the Art Studio. Although he is now retired, Garrey still acts on the board of the advisors for the Great Stupa in Bendigo, paints holy objects, as well as offering occasional workshops.</image:title>

      <image:title>Upcoming Events - Dzambhala Puja - About event: Dzambhala’s prayer was conceived by the Buddha for developing the practice of generosity. Dzambhala provides the opportunity for practitioners to accumulate spiritual and material abundance in order to facilitate their practice of generosity. As a result, Dzambhala possesses a remarkable power to free sentient beings from the clutches of poverty and starvation and guide them towards ultimate Buddhahood. The practice involves offering a stream of water to Dzambhala and is chanted in both English and Sanskrit. It takes about 60 minutes to complete.</image:title>
