Wheel of Healing: Living Art of Tibetan Buddhism
In February 1994, a group of nine Tibetan Buddhist monks from Ganden Jangtse Monastery in southern India constructed the Wheel of Healing sand mandala at the Denver Art Museum. The mandala was created as an offering dedicated to unity and peace in a time of concern over youth violence in Denver. After spending a week creating the mandala, the monks ritually dismantled it and poured the sand into the South Platte River to disperse its healing energy.
