Creation of Wisdom Sand Mandala

The Tibetan Buddhist monks of the Drepung Gomang Monastery return once again to the Florida CraftArt exhibition space to create a dazzling sand mandala during the week of January 8th. Over the period of several days eight visiting monks will construct the mandala, painstakingly placing millions of colorful grains of sand to form an intricate diagram that represents the enlightened mind and the ideal world.
