Tibetan monks plan closing ceremony today
In this sacred tradition, intricate and artistic designs are created from colored sand and then ritualistically destroyed to symbolize the Buddhist doctrinal belief in the impermanent nature of material life.
During the closing ceremony, the public is invited to join the Tibetan Monks in ceremoniously releasing the sand used from the mandala into Gilmore Creek.
Twenty-one photographs from the Tibet Image Bank, London will be on display through Monday, Sept. 24. The photo show, “Tibet: Magical Land of Spiritual Wonders,” will be on display at the Lillian Davis Hogan Galleries from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily.
Events being held in the gallery are free and open to the public.
