Buddhist Relics Tour 2009, Johannesburg South Africa
Please click here to see photograph album
The Buddhist Relic Tour was a great success on it's 1st visit to Africa. More than 2000 people visited Lam Rim Centre in Johannesburg to see the relics. There was a great sense of peacefulness and gentleness on every person’s face as they left the centre.
I am still assimilating the experience and sense it's going to take many weeks to do this. Somehow words are not flowing now - though the eyes do! I am grateful that Gien has written about his experiences here

On the last day while Venerable Nyingje was speaking, one of the Relics belonging to Geshe Lama Konchog started to glow

Hi Hummingbird. What was the relic, was it a crystal? Crystals can vibrate and glow.
Zephyr there's information about the relics here. I've extracted a bit -
fascinating - all very new to me… thank you dear Anna
Thank you Anna.
new for me too Nicole!
love
this is the website and here is the page where one can invite the Buddhist Relics tour to one's city
Thank you Anna & Gien, for sharing such an awe-inspiring and profoundly faith-strengthening experience with us. It's all new to me as well. Your enthusiastic energy is contagious!
Ingebrita, I'm happy you are inspired by this
Thank you for sharing the Buddhist Relics sacred event. I have gained through this visual and reading both yours and Glen's stories. This photo grabbed me first, and the love in this is pure. If anyone were ever in doubt seeing this would move anyone from that condition. What a stellar event and beautiful accounting of the source of these relics from Glen who said and I share from just reading: “This sign has changed my way of experiencing reality.” This shows our potential is always greater and anything is possible through this knowledge and pure love. I look forward to this being in One Light Many Windows. The light is on here for all to see.
Deep bows,
Kathy
oh Kathy thank you for traveling with this journey every step of the way! Where do you see this fitting in OMLW - the forum perhaps?
big hug
I had heard of something like this & always wondered about the relics and now we see them for real. It must have been so spiritual in that space for this event. Thanks for bringing it to One Light Many Windows as either Teachings of Masters and the Forum… my view.
perhaps the relics could be in the symbols room, and if you have long texts, how about the TOM room in OLMW?
That was really beautiful! I am glad, I stopped by your blog this morning, to be able to see those pictures and enjoy your describtion of the event!
Thank you, blessed be!
Thank you so much for visiting and sharing inspiration, I will post in OLMW shortly. Weekends are a bit busy and there's not much time.
love

hug!
Anne, I stumbled upon this Video and though perhaps you could used it.
Buddha Relics Meditation
oh thank you Lars, brought back such beautiful memories!
Ven Samden told me, when I went to the airport to see them all off, that he may make a video of our relics tour.

Thank you Anna for sharing this most precious event here. I had seen the pics on your FB site already but reading some of the story behind it gave it a lot more depth and insight to me.
I enjoyed Giens blog about it as well.
I linked on to the page of the tour and noticed to my great joy that the tour will be in the Netherlands at the end of october, so if I'm in Holland at that time (planning a little trip) it will be well worth to go there. It is something to very much look forward to. I'm not a Buddhist but the mere though of going there sparks a love glow within.
love Lucienne
Lucienne, that's wonderful. More than 2,000 people came to see them in Johannesburg - most of them not Buddhists because there are very few Buddhists in South Africa. Almost everyone was moved by the experience. I look forwward to hearing your experience
love
