This 75-minute benefit concert for Ka-Nying Shedrub Ling Monastery (where my son is a resident practicing monk) and Nagi Nunnery in Nepal, will be hosted by special guest, Richard Gere. Renowned Tibetan Buddhist meditation master and abbot of the monastery, Chökyi Nyima Rinpoche, will give a brief teaching and introduction. Performances by prominent musicians - including Cher, Gregory Porter, Angélique Kidjo, Maggie Rogers, Jon Batiste, Norah Jones, Laurie Anderson, and Steve Miller Band - will be streamed to a global audience. Beautiful videos will showcase life at the monastery, including glimpses into the lives of monks and nuns, spectacular musical and artistic ritual practices unique to Tibetan Buddhism, social work and direct aid activities in and around the Kathmandu Valley, and introductions to the unique philosophical and meditation traditions of Tibetan Buddhism.
The show can be viewed for free, but as this is a benefit concert we strongly encourage everyone to show their support through one of the donation options at ticket purchase.
