Mandala Sponsorship

TEMPLE CEILING MANDALA PROJECT

The three-story, 12,000 sq. ft. Tara Temple was built between 2007 and 2009 using the skills of traditional Bhutanese wood carvers and Tibetan artists. Lama Gyurme Rabgye was the visual artist and painter of the entire temple and worked closely with David Petit and Lama Tsultrim Allione to create one of the most exquisite representations of Vajrayana Buddhist cosmology in the world.

The original temple plans included ceiling mandala paintings, and in 2017 Lama Tsultrim and Tara Mandala commissioned Lama Gyurme to begin painting the twenty-nine individual mandalas that will cover the ceiling of the shrine room (Nirmanakaya).

The choice of these particular mandalas was made with Tulku Sang-ngag Rinpoche‘s guidance. Each mandala is unique, with impeccable detail and profound significance that can trigger ‘liberation through seeing’.

The mandalas are painted by hand on high-quality linen canvas and then installed on the temple ceiling. The mandalas range in their complexity and take several months to complete, leading to the different sponsorship amounts for each.

Currently 12 completed mandalas have been installed in the temple, and Lama Gyurme is painting the next batch that have been funded. There are nine remaining mandalas that need funding.

Lama Tsultrim is very excited about our progress to complete the next phase of making the temple truly a ‘liberation through seeing’ experience, and we hope to have this project completed by 2025.

Each mandala will be painted by hand on canvas and then installed on the temple ceiling. The mandala’s range in their complexity and can take between a few weeks and a few months to complete, thus the difference in sponsorship amount for each.

We welcome sponsorship dedications. Feel free to make dedications to a special individual, a cause or an aspiration near to your heart. You will receive a color image of the mandala you are sponsoring when completed as well as have your name and dedication listed in the temple in a book about the mandalas.
