Creating A Sand Mandala

By Julie Miche Leave a Comment

Buddhist Monks Create A Sand Mandala

I finally was able to see a sand mandala created!  I have always wanted to, but the timing was never right.  Today, monks from the Sera Mahayana Buddhist Monastery in South India finished the mandala. It has been dedicated to Chenrezig.  The monks are on a World Peace Tour, and included the Santa Barbara Museum of Art as one of their stops.
