Pilgrimage to Uluru
Copper Coloured Mountain — Pure Land of Guru Rinpoche
About This Pilgrimage
On 12th September 2024, a group of over forty pilgrims travelled together to Uluru in central Australia. Some Tibetan masters have identified Uluru as the Copper Coloured Mountain (Zangdog Palri) — the pure land of Guru Padmasambhava — making it an extraordinary sacred destination.
The main purpose of this spiritual journey was to pray for world peace. We performed the Tsok (feast offering) ritual on the 10th day of the lunar month, and performed the Lingdro Dechen Rolmo — a sacred dance and music ritual — in the presence of Uluru.
Uluru is formed from sandstone, stands 348 metres above sea level, and was formed around 550 million years ago. It holds deep significance in Aboriginal Dreamtime mythology, making it a place where geological wonder and spiritual power beautifully converge.
"We pray that the enlightened activities of the precious Dharma Lord spread throughout the three realms."
