an old post (from 2001) but still a really lovely photo blog of buddhist monks constructing a sand mandala painting of the medicine buddha. the two buddhist monks, who came from the namgyal monastery in ithaca, new york, created the five and a half foot mandala for the ackland art museum’s yager gallery of asian art - located in north carolina. the construction took from february 26th through to march 21st. the detail is incredible. use the links on the top of the page (the dates in green) to go through all the photos, including the dismantling of the mandala.
