Tibetan sacred lama dance preservation (documentation) & presentation

The grant will help expand their performances of sacred ancient Tibetan Buddhist cultural tantric ‘lama dances’ (Chams) to include a new buffalo dance. Artists will also be trained to carry on this sacred tradition, document and establish a digital archive and to share it to benefit and nurture our local Southern California communities.
