Tibetan Monks to Perform Ritual Dance at Westminster College

Westminster College will host a group of Tibetan Monks Monday, April 25, at 8 p.m. in the Lakeview Witherspoon Room located in the McKelvey Campus Center.

"This group of Tibetan Monks is from the Gaden Shartse monastery now in exile in Mundgod, India," said Dr. Bryan Rennie, the Vira I. Heinz Professor of Religion at Westminster.  "This monastery is part of the Gelupa order of Tibetan Buddhism, which is headed by the Dalai Lama, and specializes in ritual dance, chanting, and the traditional and folk dance of Tibet."

The evening of dance and chanting is free and open to the public, but a free-will donation will be taken.  For more information, contact Rennie at (724) 946-7151 or e-mail brennie@westminster.edu.
