You're reading: Days of Buddhist Culture

Most of November will be devoted to discovering Buddha’s ancient cultural heritage.

“Days of Buddhist Culture in Ukraine” project invites you to learn about the roots of Buddha’s philosophy and teachings.

The program is comprised of exhibitions, master-classes, films and lectures to help unravel the mystery of the culture which started in the Himalayans over 2500 years ago.

The exhibition “Treasures of Tibet” honors the heritage of the Himalayan region by displaying nearly 300 original artifacts such as statues, masks, temple music instruments and home objects from Tibet, Nepal, Bhutan, and India.

To learn meditation, don’t miss a couple of master classes. And, the films will tell the story of Buddha’s life, personal accounts of travelers to Tibet and the life of spiritual leader Dalai Lama.

A few Ukrainian modern painters have joined the Days of Buddhism to share their understanding of the Oriental culture through contemporary art.

Until Nov. 27, Ukrainsky Dim, 1 Hreshatyk St., 097 013-72-58, for schedule of events go to www.buddhadays.in.ua.
