Daily Observation: Making of the Sand Mandala

Thursday, May 1, 2025 • 10:00AM-6:00PM • Free

The Allegany Arts Council and Cultural Event Series at Frostburg State University invite you to participate in daily observation of the making of a sand mandala by Tibetan monks from the Drepung Loseling Monastery.

Mandala-making is an ancient ritual which celebrates contemplation, compassion and self-reflection in the course of aligning mindfulness with creative expression.

Daily observation will take place each of the following dates/times, and observers may come and go throughout the period.

Tuesday, April 29 - 1:00PM-6:00PM

Wednesday, April 30 - 10:00AM-6:00PM

Thursday, May 1 - 10:00AM-6:00PM

Friday, May 2 - 10:00AM-6:00PM

Saturday, May 3 - 10:00AM-11:00AM

A Note About Mandala-Making: While visitors are encouraged to come and observe the monks' mandala-making process, it is a time of self-reflection and meditation for the participants.  This event is best for those interested in a quiet experience.  

All events in this series are free and the public is invited to attend.

Additional events and lectures are available during this series.  For a complete schedule, visit here.
