Buddhist Monks Visit Princeton: Sand Mandala Closing Ceremony

After completing the 2-day construction of a sand mandala, the monks of Gaden Shartse will purposely dissolve the magnificent work of art. 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. Takes place in UU Princeton’s Channing Hall at 50 Cherry Hill Rd, Princeton. 

All proceeds for this event will be given to the Gaden Shartse Cultural Foundation, which is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, for the purpose of constructing a new dormitory for their monastery. The Gaden Monastery, founded in Tibet in 1409 and currently located in Mundgod, India.
