Tibetan Sand Mandala
Tibetan Buddhist Lama Tenzin Tsundu will be creating a Sacred Sand Mandala of Green Tara, the female Buddha of Compassion, at Gibsons United Church during the last week of June.
A mandala is painstakingly made by placing grains of coloured sand in intricate traditional patterns, usually covering a circular area three to five feet in diameter. Depending on the size of the mandala, it may take four to seven days to complete.
When the mandala is completed there is a ceremony in which the sand is swept up into a pile to celebrate the impermanence of physical creations. Some of the sand is given to the people present at the ceremony and the rest is ceremonially taken to a nearby ocean or river where its blessings are dispersed to all the world.
This program will begin with opening chants and prayers at 2:00 pm on Sunday, June 23 and continue until the closing ceremony and sand dispersal in the ocean at 2:00 pm on Sunday, June 30. There will be chants and prayers for 30 minutes at the beginning of each day. Please drop by any time to hear the chanting, watch the progress of the mandala and talk with Lama Tsundu when he takes a break.

Mandala Creation: June 24 to June 29.
