Day 7 : Dakini Dance Performance @ Kopan

Monday, January 07, 2008

The dance of the dakini is very famous in Tibetan culture and is deeply entrenched in the religious history of Tibet. It is especially important to perform the Dakini dance when offering a long life puja to one's Root Guru.

We had the opportunity to watch Dakini Dance dressed in full Tibeten tradition cultures. There were five performance by the monks and nuns of Kopan Monastery. This is the first time in my lifetime that I have seen such a performance, so colorful and filled with sounds from Tibeten drum and long horns.

LDC together with Thailand and Indonesia did a special performance after the Dakini Dance.

Our precious guru, Dalai Lama and Lama Zopa Rinpoche.
