The Fairfield Travelogue continues its tour around the world on February 13, with “Tibet: A Light in the Darkness”, a film by Sean Cassidy. It will be hosted by Tom Sterling.
The history of Tibet can be traced back about 4,000 years, during which the Buddhist religion, Zangl language and culture are shaped up. Most of the local inhabitants practice Tibetan Buddhism and Bon. They maintain many unique practices, such as pilgrimage prostration and sky burial, where the bodies of the dead are exposed to birds of prey. Viewers will travel by Landcruiser and horse cart to the “top of the world”. Here singing and laughter ring through the mountains and valleys. Explore mysterious Buddhist monasteries, join thousands of pilgrims on a holy Kora, camp beside a sacred lake, and sing with blind children. Learn more about the history, traditions and cultures that have placed the Tibetan people and their country in the world spotlight.
Future programs include:
On March 12, “Albinos & Aliens: In Search of the Albinos, Florida’s Alien Wildlife” will be presented by Tom Sterling.
On April 9, “The Royal Inca Road”, a film by Karin Mullers, will be hosted by Sandy Mortimer.
All of the programs will be held at the First Baptist Church at 308 S 1st Street in Fairfield. Each presentation will begin at 7:15 p.m.
Season tickets are $30.00 and will be sold at the door the evening of the event. Tickets are also available at McDowell, Kenshalo, & Jesop in Fairfield.
This year’s Fairfield Travelogue is sponsored by the Fairfield Rotary Club and the Wayne County Farm Bureau.
