Monks from the Drepung Gomang Monastic
University in Karnataka, India will create an
interfaith sacred sand mandala at Brevard
College's Porter Center for Performing Arts
Feb. 20-22.
While on campus, the monks will also
present a Cultural Pageant and World
Peace and Healing Puja, which are chants
and prayers. The monks' visit is being co
sponsored by the Unitarian Universalist
Chinch of Transylvania County.
During their visit, the team of monks will
painstakingly arrange grains of colored sand
into the form of a mandala (pronounced mahn-
DAH-la). The mandala, which represents
peace and harmony between all religions,
includes symbols familiar to religions such
as Hinduism, Christianity, Judaism and Islam
as well as depictions of the four seasons and
the natural world.
