Sand mandala information


Chenrezig Sand Mandala created and exhibited by the House of Commons of the United Kingdom for the visit of the 14th Dalai Lama, May 2008.

Sand mandala (Tibetan: དཀྱིལ་འཁོར།, Wylie: dkyil 'khor, THL kyinkhor; Chinese: 沙壇城/壇城沙畫) is a Tibetan Buddhist tradition involving the creation and destruction of mandalas made from colored sand. Once complete, the sand mandala's ritualistic dismantling is accompanied by [1]ceremonies and viewing to symbolize Buddhist doctrinal belief in the transitory nature of material life.
