Rantings of a New Yorker

At the Ackland Art Museum, Buddhists created a beautiful sand mandala in 2001.  You can see a few small photos below or go to the Ackland Art Museum’s website and see their larger, more detailed, photos from progression from empty table to finished mandala.

The museum is housed at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.  The mandala was dismantled on June 8, 2001 but, fortunately, these pictures remain to preserve the painstaking detail that went into this beautiful mandala.
