Ugyen Choephell, Bristol artist (thangka
painter) and musician has set up an exhibition in London to commemorate the
visit of His Holiness the Dalai Lama to the UK
'Tibet in London - journey to the forbidden
land' is an exploration into the Art of contemplation.
18 - 24 June 2012, SMA Centre, Kensington, W8
4HN
The exhibition recreates the West Gate Stupa
to Lhasa, which stands before the Potala palace - one personal aim is to invite
His Holiness the Dalai Lama to visit; a symbolic return to Tibet - but also to
give everyone a taste of tibet, a sense of pilgrimage and a journey all can
make.
You might also like to join in the prayer
flag messages exhibit - you can create a flag which will join the exhibition -
but you can also create a virtual flag online right
now
We hope to take the flags to fly in Tibet
later.
Should this project inspire you, Ugyen is
looking for sponsors to help the stupa take shape, sponsor a mani wheel or
prayer flag strings for the dharchen installation. Your support will make a
huge difference to help bring this exhibition to life, full details can be
found here
Please feel free to forward this onto anyone
you know who might be interested
best wishes

Tibet Alive!'
