This highly symbolic mandala represents the enlightened mind of Guru Padmansambhava, the master who brought Buddhism to Tibet in the eighth century. For those who see, touch, enter or remember this sacred structure, it is said that a connection is made to quicken one’s spiritual development and to realize one’s innate compassion. Historically the Zangdok Palri mandala is extremely ornate and detailed, requiring rare, esoteric expertise that is currently in danger of being lost.
Help us celebrate the completion of stage two of the Zangdok Palri U.S.A. project by offering your support of stage three Zangdok Palri U.S.A. the four story monument.
