September 20 -22 there was a special feature during the exhibition. The Gallery hosted three Tibetan Buddhist monks from Namdroling Monastery in South India - including the esteemed Buddhist professor Khnepo Tenzin Norgay Rinpoche and sand mandala master Lopen Rabjee Wangchuk - as they created a circular sand mandala before dissolving it a week later.
The Lt. Col. James F. Sheehan ’55 Honors Program presented the monks’ work on the sand mandala, a 2-D representation of a 3-D sacred space, in this case representing Manjushri, the manifestation of enlightened wisdom. The Honors Program provided a three-day schedule of special events.
