From Monday, May 6 until Friday, May 10, the Venerable Tenzin Yignyen, a Tibetan monk from the Dalai Lama’s personal monastery and professor of Tibetan Buddhist studies at Hobart and William Smith Colleges, will construct a sand mandala of the Buddha of Compassion in the lobby of the Reem-Kayden Center on the Bard College campus.
On Friday morning at 9:00 am, the mandala will be dismantled, and the sand taken in procession to the waterfall on Bard campus, where it will be sent off toward the Hudson River and the Atlantic Ocean.
The mandala will be dismantled on the last day of the spring semester – so come to class early or visit the construction between Monday and Friday at RCK!
