The Biscayne Institutes of Health and Living |
|
Biscayne hosts various cultural and teaching events throughout the year. One memorable event was the construction of a sand mandala by Tibetan Buddhist monks. Biscayne Institutes also hosts interfaith meetings of the Florida Council of Spirituality, Medicine and Healing. |
|
Tibetan Buddhist monks work for a week to create the sand mandala one grain of sand at a time. |
|
The creation and destruction of the sand mandala is a meditation on the impermanence of life. |
|
After completion, the sand mandala is ritually destroyed and the sands are scattered for a blessing. |
