Great Compassion Mandala Tour
Visiting monks spent three days creating a traditional sand mandala at the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center at Colorado College as part of the Great Compassion Mandala Tour, which made a weeklong stop at CC in early October. The tour included a variety of lectures, ceremonies, and the creation and then dissolution of a traditional mandala. The week began with a lecture, “The Buddhist Mandala: The Hidden Heart of Tibetan Culture,” presented by the renowned scholar Robert Thurman.
