To commemorate the annual Tibetan Uprising Day, this year Australia Tibet Council and the Tibetan Communities of Australia will be gathering in front of Parliament House in Canberra on 10th March 2026.
Together this year, we are asking the Australian Government to join other like-minded countries in taking a firm position in accepting only a reincarnation of the Dalai Lama recognised by His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama according to traditional Tibetan Buddhist tradtions, without intereference from the Chinese Government. And reject any attempts from the Chinese Government to interfere in this sacred religious tradition.

What is a Prayer Flag?
Tibetan prayer flags originate in Tibet and are a sacred expression of Tibetan Buddhist tradition. These colourful cloth banners are printed with mantras, prayers and auspicious symbols such as the Wind Horse, which represents strength, vitality and the carrying of blessings.
Traditionally hung outdoors across mountain passes, rooftops and temples - the flags are designed to be moved by the wind, which is believed to disperse their positive intentions into the surrounding environment.
The five colours of the flags symbolise the five elements - sky, air, fire, water and earth, reflecting balance, harmony and interconnectedness. Rather than serving as decoration, Tibetan prayer flags are spiritual tools intended to cultivate compassion, peace and wellbeing for all beings.

To commemorate the annual Tibetan Uprising Day, this year Australia Tibet Council and the Tibetan Communities of Australia will be gathering in front of Parliament House in Canberra on 10th March 2026.
As this commemoration coincides with His Holiness the Dalai Lama's 90th Birthday and also the year long celebration of the Year of Compassion, we will be creating an art installation, made with Tibetan Prayer Flags, a physical representation of His Holiness the Dalai Lama's message of peace, nonviolence and inter-faith harmony.
Be a part of this peaceful commemoration by sponsoring a prayer flag for our art installation.
