In honor of the Faraway Home exhibit opening, Tibetan Buddhist Monks of the Tashi Kyil Monastery will spend the day at Hennepin History Museum. They will create a mandala, an artwork which is a tool for gaining wisdom and compassion via a meditatively constructed, balanced, geometric composition that can inspire individuals on the path to enlightenment. The Tibetan Buddhist Monks of the Tashi Kyil Monastery live in exile from Tibet in India and are traveling to raise funds for their Monastery to keep the unbroken lineage of Buddhist teachings alive.
