For five days, the Tibetan monks of Dzongkar Choede Monastery will create a Buddha of Compassion sand mandala at the Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Chinese Garden.
What emerges is, for a limited time, a timeless piece of art and a meditative ractice.
Tickets: $10. Good for multiple visits during the creation of the sand mandala.
Garden members are free; a donation to the monks will be most welcome. A portion of the ticket price will be given to the monks to support their monastery.
The experience includes a Tibetan thanka exhibit by Kalsang Dawa
