The
highlight of the evening was renowned singer Mr. Phuntsok Ladakhi, who
has been a perennial source of support for TVA. He is undoubtedly a
person of immense magnitude, an actor per excellence, a singer who’s
proved his mettle. The sole composer of the best selling and super-hit
compilation `Dhamma Vani.`
Mr. Phuntsok`s songs moved the audience with tears while his sensible
sense of humour cheered the audience of about 1000 odd people.
The
'Aku Tonpa Theatre Group', spearheaded by veteran actor Mr. Che vee la,
had the audience in splits with their humorous yet substantial 20
minute skit. There were host of solo-performances by Mr. Tsenor la, Mr.
Karma la, Mr. Nagtso la, Mr. Sonam la, Mr. Lhundup la were very much
appreciated by the audience.
The evening began with an invocatory Sanskrit prayer by the Tibetan
M.C. Acharya Jigme Migyur la and this was followed by Ven Geshe Sonam
Dawa la`s (Board member of TVA) introduction of TVA which was
translated in English by the English M.C. Ms. Dhardon Sharling la.
The chief guest of the evening, the Minister for Religion and Culture,
Tibetan Government in Exile, venerable Acharya Tsering Phuntsok la
congratulated TVA for its hardwork and wished them for their future
endeavor.
There were about 30 volunteers and 8 performers. They were all
treated to a sumptuous dinner post-the concert and acknowledged for
their contribution and were also thanked with an honorarium each and
certificates of merits.
The evening was truly eventful and many people applauded TVA and this
was obvious through their generous donations. This rakes in a positive
energy in TVA to further carry on such activities catering to a mass
audience.
