Sands of Peace and Harmony

12 – 21 February

Experience the creation of a sacred sand mandala by 4 Tibetan Buddhist Monks, including morning chanting meditations. After 9 days of painstaking construction of the intricate pattern from memory (using coloured marbled sands through brass funnels), the whole artwork is swept up by the Monks and dispatched to the river, emphasising not the futility of life and art, but the impermanence of existence.

Presented in partnership with TARA, and with support the City of Perth and Office of Multicultural Interests, WA.

3pm Tuesday 12 February 2008:

Opening ceremony includes chanting meditation and the pouring of the first sands. Please be punctual.

8.30am 13-16 & 18-21 Feb:

Daily chanting meditation – please be punctual.

3pm Thursday 21 February:

Closing ceremony includes chanting meditation and sweeping up of the completed artwork,

then off to the river in a convoy!
