Dear friends,

The 2011 Wesak International Film Festival (WIFF) will continue this weekend at Malaysia Tourism Centre (MTC), Kuala Lumpur, showcasing 18 full-length movies, documentaries, animation, and children films. Kindly refer to www.wiff.org.my orwww.facebook.com/wiff2011 for screening schedule.

On Saturday June 18, 2011, as part of the International Film Festival, Malaysians will be able to listen to one of the most renown Buddhist nun and singer, Ani Chöying Drolma perform. This is Ani Chöying Drolma’s first concert in Malaysia. She will perform a total of nine songs accompanied by different musical instruments.

Ani Chöying Dolma hails from Kathmandu, Nepal. She is part of a fairly large group of musicians in the Tibetan tradition now active outside Tibet. Ani Chöying Drolma has recorded 10 albums. Her music combines Tibetan melodies with traditional and contemporary instruments, like singing bowls and synthesizers.

Ani Chöying Drolma sees her music — and its profits — as a vehicle to create opportunities for women and girls. She supports more than a dozen charities through her Nun's Welfare Foundation, she's building Nepal's first kidney hospital and she runs a boarding school for girls. In 2000, Ani Chöying Drolma founded The Arya Tara school - the first school in Nepal to offer both Western and traditional Tibetan studies to nuns.

For details, please contact wiff.my@gmail.com or call 03-78049154.

Admission to the concert is free. We look forward to seeing you there!
