Celebrating the Spirit of Chenrezig Institute through the Lens of Małgorzata Ola Dobrowolska

Step deeper into the heart of Chenrezig: The Origin of Tibetan Buddhism in Australia with Interwoven Visions, a photographic exhibition featuring a specially selected collection of images taken around the serene grounds of Chenrezig Institute. Captured by former resident volunteer and filmmaker Małgorzata Ola Dobrowolska, these evocative photographs reflect daily life, intimate moments and the living landscape of this unique spiritual community.
Each image invites reflection on the beauty, stillness and interconnectedness that define the Institute — from quiet corners of meditation and study to the expansive natural surrounds that have inspired practitioners for decades. Through Małgorzata’s eye, we experience not only the physical place but also the warmth of the people and the timeless quality of compassionate practice that is central to the Institute’s life.
This exhibition runs in conjunction with the premiere screening of Chenrezig: The Origin of Tibetan Buddhism in Australia — an 80-minute documentary exploring the founding and evolution of the Institute, the first Tibetan Buddhist centre established in the West by Lama Yeshe and Lama Zopa Rinpoche.
