Venerable Tenzin Jamyang is in the process of creating a sand mandala at the Krannert Art Museum. Instead of immediately destroying the mandala, as is traditional, UIUC has been granted special permission to keep it on permanent display. Here he discusses the sacred art of Tibetan sand painting and the religious significance of the mandala in Buddhism.

This presentation is held in conjunction with the Ford Foundation project Crossing the Boundaries of Place and Perception Arts of the Sacred.
