“Dear Buddha, we will come before you, seeking your guidance and support as we work to grow and improve this 20 year old FICUS bengamina.”

About the demonstrators:

Our demonstrator is renowned Bonsai artist Dieddrick Haneveld who has practised bonsai for many years in Victoria and now here in Maleny. He is an active member of Maleny Bonsai Self Help group (visit Facebook – Maleny Bonsai for details). He has an astounding collection of quality trees, of many different species/varieties and styles.

Diedrick has been invited by Tenzin, our regular Bonsai Master at Chenrezig Institite.

Tenzin is a regular dharma student at CI who started practising bonsai thirty years ago. 

Now Tenzin is teaching bonsai classes at the Chenrezig Institute Art Studio. These practical sessions are part tutorial with a component having participants do some work so they learn and understand  through experience.

This demonstration day is freely offered to anyone interested.

This event will go all day. We suggest you pop in and see what is happening, then maybe have a look around the Art Studio as well as exploring, this wonderful Buddhist establishment where there are so many wonderful places to visit. When you are finished exploring, pop back to check the tree's progress. Who knows you may get bitten by the Bonsai bug and want to sign up for a Bonsai Workshop.

Regular ‘The Art of Bonsai’ classes are offered by Tenzin on most Sundays.
