The
Inner Path Festival of Buddhism
The 3rd edition of the 4-day The Inner Path Festival of Buddhism
will take place between 21 and 24 November 2014 at the Alliance Francaise de
Delhi. The Festival comprises Discourses by Most Venerable Geshe Jangcup Choeden
and Dato Ananda Kumaraseri -- eminent Buddhist practitioners and scholars,
screening of 16 feature and documentary films, an Art and Photography exhibition
by 20 artists whose work is related to Buddhism, an art camp, a Thangka painting demonstration by the well known artist
Siddharth, a panel discussion among artists and filmmakers, an opening night
recital by the internationally renowned Venerable Ani Choying Drolma from Nepal,
and the closing night performance on 24th November by the celebrated
Kung-fu Nuns from Ladakh.
An annual event, The
Inner Path Festival of Buddhism attempts to take forward the renewed
interest in Buddhist thought to a wider range of urban audiences by presenting
celebrated works of visual & performing arts and other forms of creative
and cultural expression, philosophy, discourse and discussions related to
Buddhism from across the world. This endeavour becomes especially important at
a time when our national secular culture is threatened by violence and strife.
The
Inner Path Festival of Buddhism is organised by
NETPAC-India, the International Buddhist Confederation and Alliance Francaise
de Delhi in association with the Korean Cultural Centre.
NETPAC-India, a not-for-profit organisation, is
affiliated to NETPAC International which is an international NGO that was
established in 1996 with the mission to promote Asian cinema in India and
through it, to a wider understanding and appreciation of our neighbours in the
region. Aruna Vasudev, the founder and editor of Cinemaya, and of Cinefan
Festival of Asian cinema, continues to be the President of NETPAC International
as well as of NETPAC India and is the Director of The Inner Path Festival.
