As every year, the Festival for Inner Peace is held under the aegis of Lama Gyurmé, spiritual leader of the Kagyu Dzong Tibetan Temple, located within the grounds of the Pagode de Vincennes. The event,"an opportunity to reflect on inner peace and wisdom in these uncertain times", invites the general public to enjoy concerts, guided meditations and entertainment for the whole family, in the heart of the Bois de Vincennes.
After an absence of two years, the festival aims to offer a break for everyone, to rediscover calm and inner peace, to enable peace in the world at a time of profound upheaval. For a weekend, in a magnificent setting, you can reconnect with yourself, with nature and with others, through a wide range of activities for all.
An exceptional opportunity to discover the Grande Pagode de Vincennes, both a Buddhist place of worship and a historic monument, as well as the Tibetan temple beside it, and the Buddhist teachings, which emphasize the development of inner peace, wisdom and compassion.
The program includes a concert by Lama Gyourmé and Jean-Philippe Rykiel on Saturday at 7pm, a large interfaith meditation for peace, guided meditations, lectures on Buddhism, entertainment for young and old including mandalas, magic, face painting for children, yoga, Qi Gong, mantra chanting, traditional dance, an authentic crafts market and Tibetan food to discover the culture.
A financial contribution is recommended to support the organization of the festival (5 euros for the day, 8 euros for the weekend), but admission is free for those who can't afford it.
