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.
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, to represent His Holiness the Dalai Lama’s contributions of peace, nonviolence and inter-faith harmony in the world.
Be a part of this peaceful commemoration by sponsoring a prayer flag for our art installations.
What is a Prayer Flag?
Tibetan Prayer Flags, as the name suggests have prayers written on them. It is believed that as the wind flutters the flags, the prayers are spread across the horizon, as far as the wind blows.
The prayer flags are coloured according to the Five Elements
Earth (Sa): Represents solidity, stability, and cohesion
Water (Chu): Represents fluidity, ease, and adaptability
Fire (Me): Represents warmth, passion, and transformation
Air/Wind (Lung): Represents movement, mobility, and intellect
Space (Nam-mkha): Represents the container for all, openness, and consciousness.
