SUMMARY:Peace mandala – Tibetan monks from Tashi Lhunpo monastery
DESCRIPTION:Over three days\, Tibetan monks from Tashi Lhunpo Monastery make a Peace Mandala\, representing a Buddha’s earthly palace using millions of grains of coloured sand. Watch the intricate design build up from the dedication ceremony. \nThe most intriguing and intricate example of the Vajrayana tradition of Tibetan Buddhism is the construction of the Sand Mandala. Made from millions of grains of coloured sand\, the image grows over a series of days until it can be visualised as the palace of the Buddha who visits our realm to bring wisdom\, compassion and peace. The initial dedication ceremony\, the construction and the final dismantling of the mandala are all part of this exhibition. The monks are highly qualified masters of mandala-making who have studied in the monastery since childhood. The final ceremony for the dismantling of the mandala takes place on Monday morning\, beginning with a blessing\, and concluding with a procession led by the monks to distribute the sand in running water. Return to the hall to collect some of the sand to take away as a memory of the mandala. \nVisits to the mandala and the final ceremony are free of charge with voluntary donations to Tashi Lhunpo Monastery to support the monks in their work. www.tashi-lhunpo.org.uk \nThis event is part of Frome Festival.
