Mount Gulaga Sacred Walk

HELD AT KAMALASHILA TIBETAN BUDDHIST CENTRE
​31 August 2025

A few students requested a number of years ago that Khenpo la accompany them on the walk up Gulaga Mountain, a sacred mountain to the Yuin Nation. Khenpo la kindly agreed and the Centre arranged a program with Uncle Warren Foster, a local elder. 

By coincidence, the chosen day was on a Medicine Buddha Day, and mother Gulaga is known by traditional elders as a place of healing and birth. 
​
It was exquisitely beautiful weather, as we had postponed from the day before due to strong winds. Such an incredible cultural education, from Uncle Warren who was so generous to give us his time and knowledge to explain some of the very sacred places on this mountain. Khenpo la led us in Medicine Buddha chanting and meditations on the mountain as well. For those who could not make it this time, Khenpo la indicated he will hold another such program in the future. Thank you Khenpo la, Uncle Warren and all who attended.
