Australia Kagyu Monlam

The Kagyu Monlam

is a sacred prayer gathering of the Karma Kagyu lineage, where practitioners come together to generate vast aspirations for world peace, harmony, and the liberation of all beings.

Through collective prayers, offerings, and meditation practices, participants accumulate merit, purify obscurations, and dedicate all virtues for the benefit of all sentient beings.

This annual event in Australia continues the authentic tradition established by the great masters of the Kagyu lineage, bringing together the community in a shared spirit of compassion and wisdom.

The Kagyu Monlam is not merely a prayer gathering.
It is a profound spiritual practice where thousands unite in a single intention:

To bring peace to the world,
to relieve the suffering of all beings,
and to uphold the flourishing of the Dharma.

Through collective aspiration, merit is multiplied beyond measure.
Through sincere practice, obstacles are purified.
Through dedication, the benefit extends to all sentient beings.
