The sacred world of Tibet is filled with the chanting of Buddhist texts, the recitation of mantras, the ringing of bells, the clash of cymbals, the booming of the great long horns and the beating of drums. Eight Tibetan monks from Tashi Lhunpo Monastery in India give a dramatic presentation of their unique sacred dances, music and prayers, with colourful traditional costumes and ceremonial masks. 2012 is the 40th Anniversary of Tashi Lhunpo's re-establishment in exile and it is 10 years since the Tibetan monks started touring. Their performance offers a rare opportunity to witness a unique and endangered culture.
