CANBERRA: Last weekend Canberra once again hosted the Australian National Multicultural Festival, which is an annual event where people from diverse ethnicity and nationalities participate to present their own unique culture and traditions.
The Tibetan presence at the festival on 13 and 14 February attracted many visitors, both at the Tibet Cultural Centre’s stall as well as at the ACT Tibetan community stall which sold delicious momos, Tibetan style dumplings, a favoured national dish.
The two monks also engaged in chanting and prayers for the peaceful co-existence of all beings, for kindness and compassion. Once again, the Tibetan presence at the Multicultural Festival showcased Tibetan culture, religion and food to a record of 280,000 visitors this year, thereby spreading the message of the peaceful struggle of the Tibetan people.
