Monks of the Dalai Lama arrive on July 6 in Burgas. The delegation from the Himalayan Cultural Foundation includes its director Lobsang Phuntsok, three monks close to the Dalai Lama, ten authentic dancers who combine music, colour and thousands of years of tradition in their dance. 


They will present various activities related to Eastern culture, philosophy and a healthy lifestyle. For three days, until July 8, the monks will create a mandala, which will then be ritually destroyed, symbolizing the transience of everything in the universe. Visitors will be able to participate in traditional divination sessions led by a monk with translation provided. The three-day event will take place at the Sea Casino Cultural Center. The opening is on Saturday, July 6, at 10.00 in the Georgi Baev Hall.
