9.00 am -12.30 am and 4.00 pm – 7.00 pm

In the traditional way, starting with the drawing and completing with colored sands, the monks will build the Yamantaka mandala. The mandala is a symbolic representation of the purified universe, is the dwelling – in plan – of a tantric deity and constitutes a meditative path according to tantra instructions.

The benefits of viewing and constructing the Yamantaka mandala are the decrease of energies related to anger and hatred and the increase of peace, inner stability of beings and environmental balance.

This mandala will be the meditative basis for the Rabne Chenmo ritual that will take place from July 28 to August 1.
