Masks required.“Death is certain and the time of death is uncertain. Before one faces death, one must be well-practiced and prepared. Buddha Shakyamuni taught, “the nature of all compounded phenomena is one of impermanence.” One must be constantly mindful of this. If one has a clear understanding of pervading nature of impermanence, then one can enter the gate of Buddha’s teaching and begin their spiritual practice.” Wednesday, Dec. 8 – Saturday, Dec. 11 Creation of a Sand Mandala by Tibetan Buddhist Monks from Gaden Shartse Monastery.

Upon completion of a sand mandala, the Tibetan Buddhist Monks from Gaden Shartse Monastery will purposely destroy the magnificent work of art. The Buddha's last words were "All things are impermanent, work out your salvation with diligence." In upholding the principle that life is transient, the monks sweep up the mandala and place the sand in a river, lake, or ocean as an offering to purify the surrounding environment. The ceremony will be followed by a procession to the ocean where the monks will release the sand into the water. Masks required.

His artwork can span over 100,000 sqft, achievable during low tide.
