Drepung Loseling Phukhang Monks:Sacred Art of Sand Mandala--Creation and Dissolution

Drepung Loseling monks,renowned for the ancient Sacred Art of Sand Mandala, use bright hand-dyed grains of sand to create the Mandala of Chenrezig ( སྤྱན་རས་གཟིགས). A symbolic teaching on compassion and impermanence,this sacred art form transforms ordinary mind into the enlightened mind.

UPON completion of the mandala, you'll witness the monks performing a Dissolution Ceremony in which the mandala is blessed and monks sweep the grains of sand into a pile and offer them to on-lookers as a blessing. The remaining grains of sand are offered in a nearby body of water. Tibetan Buddhist believe that the elements such as wind or moving water can carry prayers throughout the world offering blessing to all living beings everywhere.
