Buddhist Monks Creating Sand Painting at Longwood Gardens Oct 24-26

Buddhist monks will be creating a sand mandala at Longwood Gardens Fri-Sun Oct 24-26. I'm taking my son to see it. If we go on Sunday, they will be giving out the sand from the mandala when they tear it down.

Longwood Gardens Event :angel:

Interesting that you put this under Entertainment as opposed to Philosophy, Rich... :D

Sounds like a pretty cool event, though.

I believe that I saw that back in Sandpoint a few years ago. Definitely worth checking out.

There is an amazing preserved (thanks to 3M) Tibetan sand mandala at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts. Its so beautiful. Here is a site that shows step by step how they made it. Very cool. I tell ya, Rich, if I was near that Longwood Gardens I'd be a regular. What a great place!

Thanks for the link. I'm looking forward to seeing it. The monks are also performing a full program of songs and dancing at West Chester Unviersity. Mystical Arts of Tibet at West Chester University
