In connection with the new East-West Center Gallery exhibition “Bhutan: Gross National Happiness,” three Buddhist monks from Bhutan will be creating a traditional sand mandala at the gallery from 10 am-noon and 4-6 pm daily through Friday March 2. During the laborious process, the monks tap grains of colored sand onto a platform in intricate patterns to create a visualization of the Himalayan Buddhist cosmos. At the end, they sweep up the masterwork as a representation of life’s impermanence. Led by Lama Thinley of Shalupangkha monastery high in the hills, the group of monks also includes accomplished mandala artist Kinley Penjor and Lopen Thenzin.
