Sand Mandala Painting Demonstration
In conjunction with the Sacred Arts exhibition, a Sand Mandala Painting Demonstration by Tibetan monks will be presented over the course of four days. Of all the artistic traditions of Tantric Buddhism, painting with colored sand ranks as one of the most unique and exquisite. The monks open the rituals by consecrating the site of the mandala with chants, music, and mantra recitation. At closing ceremony, the completed mandala will be swept up and the color sands poured into water, thus dispersing the healing energies of the mandala throughout the world.
