Ey! - this sounds like an awesome event to check out Coralinni - Thnx for sharin' the interestin' article w/ us!! Da practice of mandala art is healing in itself - a form of silent meditation as the Tibetan monks in zen-like fashion, create spiritual art that soothes the spirit ~ Their silent devotion to the art, invites all to watch silently, and discover the inner peace within ~ much needed in today's times ~ We must remember, to take that time to allow our soul's ripples upon the the lake's surface...to fade away...perfect stillness...
