I keep being amazed by the number of opportunities to experience and live other cultures here in Vancouver.
Starting today there will be five Tibetan monks for seven days in the Museum of Anthropology. They will be making a sand mandala, which is an image used for meditation. It will be made with millions of grains of colored sand. They will also answer questions about Tibetan culture and practices.
If you only have time to go once I would recommend going Sunday Nov. 15 at 2:00, when they will dismantle the mandala and through the sand in the sea.
Starts tomorrow, actually. I know because I’m working this! Everybody who’s anybody will be coming out to see it, don’t miss it! Come several times even, to see how the mandala progresses!
