Full Description


Mandalas are sacred symbolic images traditionally used as meditational aids in Buddhism and Hinduism. This kit provides everyone from the beginner to the professional artist with the materials and know-how to create beautiful mandalas to aid meditation, relaxation and personal growth, as well as for use in prayers and healing rituals. Sand mandalas are scattered once they have been made, symbolizing life's impermanence. Many people find the dismantling and scattering ceremony very moving. The kit includes five bags of coloured sand, a funnel and brush, paper templates and a base of constructing sand mandalas. The accompanying book gives all the background history and spiritual aid the reader needs. This step-by-step guide to creating sand mandalas, from preparatory meditation to scattering, is based on traditional methods used in Tibetan Buddhism and other cultures. "Make Your Own Sand Mandala" provides a wealth of history, tradition, spirituality and art, while reminding us that life is as beautiful and transitory as a sand mandala.
