With the blessings of H.E. Chagdud Tulku Rinpoche, and under the guidance of Lama Gyatso, construction of the Shi-Tro Mandala for Universal Peace will begin in Los Angeles in December. An article on the project, along with a teaching by Lama Gyatso, appeared in the summer issue of Snow Lion. A brochure describing the project is being enclosed with this issue of the Windhorse.
Over the next nine months, the Mandala of the One Hundred Peaceful and Wrathful Deities will be constructed within the grounds of Forest Lawn Memorial Park, a cemetery that occupies a swath of green hills overlooking Glendale. The mandala will be built in a high-ceilinged, skylit room adjacent to the Forest Lawn Museum, which houses an art collection and is open year-round. The public will be invited to view the construction, as well as to attend a number of dharma events related to the mandala. Sangha members who work with at-risk youth will invite hundreds of children and youth to view the mandala, as well as to create their own mandalas on paper. A website dedicated to the Mandala Project is also being developed so that those who are interested will be able to follow the progress of the mandala’s construction.
The mandala, once completed, will be available for display in appropriate venues. A number of museums, including the Art Institute of Chicago, have expressed interest in exhibiting the mandala. These exhibitions will enable many people to make a connection to the dharma by seeing, hearing about, or remembering the mandala. Ideally, individuals with sufficiently ripened mindstreams can attain liberation through such contact.
T’hondup Ling has held two fund-raising events, which have helped make the community aware of the project, have generated enthusiasm for it, and have raised nearly twenty percent of the amount required to build the mandala. We intend to have another fund-raising event in Santa Barbara this spring.
The Mandala Project is in urgent need of sponsors. Time is running short, and we have to raise at least $100,000. Monetary donations in any amount are welcome, as are volunteers willing to contribute time to the project as docents or in other areas. We will need experienced woodworkers, as well as those skilled in clay molding, to assist the artists. Material donations are requested in the form of a photocopy machine or a used car for the artists’ use.
The blessings arising from the Shi-Tro mandala are incalculable. The sacred circle of the mandala touches the hearts of beings, leading them toward the path of transformation, of compassion, of ultimate benefit. Please join us in making this enlightened vision a reality. To join the circle of the mandala please refer to our brochure. May all beings benefit!
