08/29/2003 Entry: "Tibetan Green Tara Sand Mandala"

Do something good for you this holiday weekend.

Tibetan Green Tara Sand Mandala created by monks from the Gyudmed Monastery which is dedicated to the purification of the environment. The gallery is open all weekend. At 2 PM on September 1st, the monks will sweep the mandala up as a way to illustrate the impermanence of all things. The monks will then lead a public procession to the waters of the Napa River in order to disperse the sand mandala and its prayers to the world.
