“Buddha said that harmony is very, very important… If people are in harmony, then whatever they pray for will be accomplished. Whatever they aspire to will be easily accomplished. And all the positivity they do will be multiplied a million times… if you have harmony, even among a small group of people, that will create circumstances that there will be peace, that there will be prosperity and that there will be auspicious things happening in the whole country.”— Ringu Tulku Rinpoche
Join Ringu Tulku Rinpoche as Rinpoche tells the ancient Jataka Tale of The Four Harmonious Friends: the story of a bird, hare, monkey, and elephant who cooperate despite their differences, illustrating the values of unity, respect, and mutual support. Through this and other teachings, Rinpoche will explore how harmony, personally and among small groups, can lead to peace, prosperity, and auspicious outcomes for entire societies.
This event was organised as a part of the Annual Buddhist Summer School 2025 by Evam Institute in Melbourne and online.
