They have also put on a performance in the community hall in Easton, Portland and another for inmates at The Verne prison on the island. The Verne's chaplain, The Rev Bill Cave, who helped organise some of the shows and visits, said the monks put on a wonderful show.' The Tashi Lhunpo monastery was established in Karnataka in India in 1972 after China began its occupation of Tibet.
The monastery has a modern school but also aims to teach people about Tibetan Buddhism and the history of the country.
