Tibetan Buddhist nuns are constructing sand mandalas
More than 900 people visited the Science Buffalo Museum on Sunday for a final look at the mandala sand painting, which was dismantled ceremonially by four chanting Tibetan monks.Created in the lobby over the last month and completed Friday, the colored-sand painting formed the geometric ground plan for a sacred mansion. This mandala was known as the Wheel of Time and traced its roots to the sixth century B.C.
Seven Tibetan Buddhist nuns are constructing a sand mandala on the Brandeis University campus with the hope that the Dalai Lama will help them destroy it when he visits the school next month. The mandala sand painting stands as one of the most sacred forms of Tibetan art.

Buddhist sand mandala
With patience and supremely controlled technique, three Tibetan monks Friday worked on a symbolic Buddhist sand mandala at the California Museum of Art at Burbank Center for the Arts, north of Santa Rosa.The unusual exhibit, titled ``A Work in Progress: Tibetan Sand Mandala,'' features the monks as they work in painstaking detail on the giant symbol. Using a palette of colored sands, the artists gently pour sand down fine copper funnels onto the emerging picture .For centuries, Buddhist monks and Hindu adherents have expressed their spirituality through mandalas, geometric sand paintings that spring from a dot symbolizing the seed of creation. The monks pray as they work, silently hoping for world peace or maybe something more worldly, like rain.When it's all over, the patterns scatter with the wind, symbolizing life's impermanence, according to Melissa Bresnahan, education coordinator.
