“Compassion is the foundation of everything — even knowledge.”

That was the message was shared by the Venerable Tenzin Yignyen throughout the week as he created a beautiful ceremonial sand mandala in the Library at our Utica Campus.

Beginning Monday and completing the intricate design yesterday afternoon, he invited members of the community to watch this centuries-old Tibetan Buddhist tradition. This morning, members of the MVCC community gathered for the Mandala Dismantling Ceremony, which began in the Library before proceeding to a nearby creek. There, the sand was returned to the flowing water, symbolizing the release of healing energies into the environment and to all living beings.

🏵️ A mandala is a cosmic diagram representing the dwelling place of a deity. In Tibetan Buddhist tradition, they are created from colored sand and ritualistically dismantled once complete — a reminder of the impermanent nature of material life and the importance of compassion, connection, and the present moment.
