Tibetan Monks Lecture: The Symbolism of the Sand Mandala

Allegany Arts Council

Explore Tibetan philosophy and culture and gain a deeper understanding of the monks' sacred traditions.

The mandala is a sacred cosmogram – a geometric configuration of symbols – used as an object of contemplation. It depicts the pure nature of the world and shows how we can live better lives. By creating a sand mandala, we become aware of this natural perfection and receptive to the creative energy of that sacred dimension.

Tibetan Monks of The Mystical Arts of Tibet is presented in partnership with the Allegany Arts Council.

CES is supported in part by a grant from the Maryland State Arts Council, and receives financial support from the Allegany Arts Council and the City of Frostburg.
