The Maplewood Mandala Project at The Woodland
August 10, 2015 - August 15, 2015
Free
From Monday August 10 through Friday August 15, 2015, five Buddhist monks from the Drepung Loseling Monastery in Tibet will be in residence at the Woodland to create a piece of mandala sand art.
In an astounding feat of artistry and concentration, they will build a magnificent work of art out of colored sand, placing it one grain at a time into a large geometric pattern called a mandala. Each sand painting takes over 30 hours to complete with the monks working up to 8 hours per day. The public will be invited at no cost to view the mandala under construction.
