Children's Activities with the Tashi Kyil Monks
Details
Children are welcome at any time during the week, with dedicated craft sessions with the monks from 1-3 pm on Saturday and Sunday to inspire their creativity.
Some of the activities may include:
Sand Painting: This workshop teaches how to create the following designs using the same techniques as monks use in creating a Sacred Sand Mandala.
Prayer Flags: In this workshop, the monks will teach you how to make Tibetan Prayer Flags. Prayer flags consist of auspicious mantras and prayers which are wood block printed onto squares of cotton cloth in each of the 5 Buddha colors: red, white, blue, green, and yellow. Squares of paper, instead of cloth, will be strung together in the children's workshop.
Mani Stones (Rock Painting): The stones are usually painted with the prayer "Om mani padme hum," a prayer asking for the qualities of wisdom, compassion, and a good heart. monks will teach you how to create images on flat stones and decorate them with sacred mantras.
This event is Free!
