The culture and art of Tibet have a long history, strong ethnic and regional characteristics. Tibetan art is closely related to religion. Tibetan Buddhism culture is the main body of Tibetan culture and arts. It has been 5,000 years since its origination and development.
Sand Mandala art is one of the most unique and exquisite religious art in Tibetan Buddhism. Whenever there is any big Dharma event, the monks in the related monastery would use millions of sands to depict the fantastic Buddhism world, which may take a few days even several months. From 2,500 years ago, Buddha Sakyamuni started to teach his disciples to make Sand Mandalas. And then this exquisite religious art was inherited in generations. In the 11th century, it spread to Tibet from North India and preserved so far.
