Tibetan Monks Visit
The Huntington Beach Church of Religious Science will offer an introduction to Tibetan beliefs Friday when monks of Gaden Shartse perform a sacred cleansing ritual.
The monks come from Gaden Shartse Monastic College in South India, most of them refugees from Tibet. They are touring in hopes of raising money to maintain their monastery, which was built in 1969.
The church invited the Gaden Shartse monks so that they could share with the congregation their wisdom and culture, said Pamela Peters, church program coordinator. “We want to bring the consciousness of the Tibetans into the consciousness here,” she said.
The ritual begins at 7 p.m. at the church, 7641 Talbert Ave. There is a suggested donation of $40. Information: (714) 596-0900.
