Manadalas To Color By Buddhist Monks
Four Buddhist monks, exiled from Tibet by Chinese rule, began to lay out a seven-foot work of symbolic mandalas in 20 colors of sand called "healing mandala". The monks belong to a 20-man team from a branch in Atlanta of their monastery, now in India, organized to work on the mandala color. Wearing tall yellow and white hats and an orange robe over a red one, members of the team preceded the layout of the mandala design.
Tibetan Buddhist monks from the Sera Je Monestery in India began construction of a color sand mandala at the Lentz Center for Asian Culture. After working more than 30 hours on the elaborately detailed sand painting, the monks destroyed the mandala in a 20-minute ceremony watched by more than 200 people who packed the Morrill Hall Center.Many American viewers expressed a sense of loss as the beautiful mandala was cut.

sand mandala BY Tibetan monks
With a few sweeps of a brush, a week's worth of painstaking work was gone.The sand mandala created one grain at a time by nine Tibetan monks from Drepong Loseling Monastery in southern India was, after all, meant to be a temporary art form. The monks started making the mandala Nov. 16 in the William J. Bachman Gallery of the Center for Visual and Performing Arts. On Saturday, they held a closing ceremony and swept the brightly colored design away.Leaning over a small black platform in the center of Muhlenberg College's Martin Art Gallery, four Tibetan monks rub pairs of weathered copper cones together.The upper-most cone is empty, but the bottom one is filled with a shade of colorful sand, which the monks are using to create a sand mandala, a sacred Buddhist icon that represents the universe. The rubbing together of the cones, called chugpu, creates a soothing sound not unlike crickets chirping in a summer.
