Transient Nature

Impermanence • Compassion • Wisdom

TIBETAN SAND MANDALA AND PHOTOGRAPHY EXHIBITION

Experience a rare living tradition at the Tibetan Buddhist Institute. Visiting monks trained at Sera Jey Monastery will create a traditional sand mandala over several days, an intricate ritual symbolising impermanence, compassion, and wisdom.

The mandala construction will occur over 2 to 16 August 2026.

The mandala will conclude with a sacred dissolution ceremony.

Alongside this, Adelaide artist Benjamin Liew presents photographic works including portraiture, and a contemplative series exploring transience, memory, and ancient architecture. A powerful meeting of ritual and contemporary photography, inviting reflection on the fleeting nature of life.

Join us at Tibetan Buddhist Institute for this wonderful event.
