Da Wei De Kong Mandala

Da Wei De Kong Mandala

The Dawei King Kong Mandala was created in 1991 by monks from the Gelug sect at the Minneapolis Museum of Art in the United States. This mandala is made of colored silicate and adhesive on wood. Mandala is a visual representation of the Buddhist universe, used for meditation and enlightenment rituals. The process of making mandalas takes four weeks and is sanctified through prayer, ritual music, and performance.
