Pilgrimages to sacred Buddhist sites led by experienced Dharma teachers. Includes daily teachings and group meditation sessions. A local English–speaking guide accompanies and assists.
BuddhaFest: Fire Under the Snow starts today!
Fire Under the Snow tells the powerful story of Palden Gyatso, a Tibetan Buddhist monk arrested by the Chinese Communist Army in 1959. He spent the next 33 years in prisons and labor camps for the "crimes" of peaceful demonstration and refusal to denounce his apolitical teacher as an Indian spy. While in prison, Palden Gyatso was tortured and forced to live in dehumanizing conditions. His courage and resilience, however, is a testament to the human spirit.
Sign up for the Tricycle BuddhaFest Online Film Festival, and watch Fire Under the Snow today.
Watch an interview with Makoto Sasa, director and producer of Fire Under the Snow.

Hi, does anyone know how long the videos are available for, is it just for the month of june ? I'm not sure that I would get time to watch everything in June. Thankyou Richard
Yes, they will only be available for June. I do think it would be great if we were able to keep them on the site longer though!
