SAND MANDALA SUPPORT
Medicine Buddha Sand Mandala
Sand mandalas represent one of the most intricate and meditative art forms in Buddhist practice, created through the careful placement of colored sand grains. This mandala, which will be meticulously constructed over a period of one week, depicts the celestial palace of the Medicine Buddha, the embodiment of universal healing principles. Throughout the palace, each symbol, position, and color carries deep meaning within multiple layers of sacred imagery. Illustrating the Buddhist principle of impermanence, the monks will ceremonially dissolve the completed mandala, sweep the blessed sand and return it to nature where it protects and purifies the environment, and benefits humans and animals, near and far.
