Triabunna, Australia

The SOPP ceremony in Triabunna, Tasmania was held at “The Village,” a local community centre. The ceremony opened with Aboriginal drumming to honor the four directions. Members of Holy Tantra Jin-Gang Dhyana Buddhism performed a doctrinal song, which was followed by the Holy Dharma Lion Dance, a ritual for peace and prosperity. Participants also wrote their own prayers or messages on paper, which were placed in a capsule and buried on site. They then prayed for peace in each country and throughout the world in a flag ceremony.
