Days of Peace and Harmony
May 16 - May 20 at Canterbury Shaker Village, 288 Shaker Road, Canterbury

The Drepung Gomang Monks will visit the Village in the days leading up to our season's Opening Day on Sunday, May 20, when tours will begin and buildings will open.

Witness the creation of a sacred sand mandala, participate in traditional Buddhist stone painting, and see the monks' costumed Snow Lion Dance. Learn about the parallels between Shaker and Buddhist traditions and the monks' concepts of community, compassion and the monastic life.

This is a joint fundraising event in support of Canterbury Shaker Village and the Drepung Gomang Monastery. In lieu of an admittance fee, we would appreciate a suggested donation at the time of registration.
