| Buddha's Cafe to Screen "Yogis of Tibet" this Saturday August 30 | | | |
30 August - Movie: "Yogi's of Tibet" Presented by Buddha's Cafe. Since the invasion of Tibet over 50 years ago, China has systematically destroyed the Tibetan culture. One of the most profound losses is the tradition of the great master yogis.
