Tibetan Monks create Sacred Sand Mandala at Princeton Yoga!

Creating new space, energy… Princeton Yoga is honored to welcome monks from the Drepung Gomang monastery to the center. From May 7th to May 12th the monks will be creating a Sacred Sand Mandala. The mandala is a Sanskrit word meaning cosmogram or “world in harmony.” The event includes opening ceremonies, informal conversation and socializing as the mandala is created and formal closing ceremonies. Closing ceremonies include prayers, chanting, deconstruction of the mandala and sharing the blessed sand.

Donations to support the monastery and works of the monks are welcome. The monks will also offer for sale their sacred art, crafts and jewelry during their visit to Princeton Yoga.
