Everyone and their pets are welcome to join His Eminence Zimo’g Rinpoche for his 13th Annual Animal Blessing to be held at Queens Park, Healesville.
Always a happy and heartfelt ceremony, inspired by World Animal Day, is dedicated to animals past, present and future.
Animals attending take centre stage as ambassadors for all animals.
Nalandra Buddhist Institute spiritual director Zimo’g Rinpoche has a great love for all animals, and this event creates joy as owners’ four-legged friends receive individual blessings.
It also eases a human heart if an animal is unable to attend or is deceased.
They too are remembered – bring along a photo to display.
Provide your animal’s name at registration.
Pets attending receive blessed ribbon cords, blessed water and blessed food.
Bring a vegetarian picnic, blanket/portable chairs and enjoy a friendly, family, pet-welcoming day.
Date: Sunday 8 December
Venue: Queens Park, at the “Sound Shell” Stage, 36 Don Road, Healesville.
