Hi All! Sharing a community event that some of you may be interested in attending/seeing. We will have a group of Tibetan Buddhist monks visiting our center and constructing a large sand mandala for the local community at the The Green Mountain Retreat Center on Barnet Center Rd August 5th - 10th. The monks heard about the recent flooding and devastation here in our area and they would like to construct a Medicine Buddha sand mandala to offer blessings of healing and alleviation of suffering in our local community. This is a very interesting process to watch and to see the ornate and beautiful detail they are able to create with sand in these mandalas!
Everyone is welcome to stop in during the week of August 5th - 10th from 10am - 4pm at the Green Mountain Retreat Center, 276 Barnet Center Rd and watch the process, take photos/videos, meet the monks, etc. The event will end with a dissolution of the mandala on Saturday August 10th at 4pm. We will have light refreshments and snacks available before the ceremony on August 10th beginning at 2pm, all are welcome to attend! See our website for details!
