Saturday, July 8, 10 am - 4 pm: Mandala Creation
Tibetan Buddhist Monks of the Tashi Kyil Monastery will create a sand mandala, an artwork which is a tool for gaining wisdom and compassion via a meditatively constructed geometric composition that can inspire individuals on the path to enlightenment. The Tibetan Buddhist Monks of the Tashi Kyil Monastery live in exile from Tibet in India.
