Tibetan monks create a colorful sand mandala

The Sacred Arts Tour of Tibetan Monks, 2020 brought seven monks to St. Petersburg once again this year, where they spent a week, creating a colorful sand mandala featuring a medicine Buddha and an overall theme of wellbeing and healing. The week began with a ceremony featuring chanting and followed by sketching out the design. The monks worked for one week on the piece. They then performed a dissolution ceremony and poured part of the sand into the waters of Tampa Bay in blessing.
