Sand-painted mandalas are employed to consecrate both the earth and its inhabitants. Tibetan Buddhism teaches that mandalas possess three layers of meaning: Outer Meaning: They portray the world in its divine state; Inner Meaning: They act as a guide for transforming an ordinary mind into an enlightened one; Secret Meaning: They represent the original, perfect balance of the body’s subtle energies and the clear light aspect of the mind.

The process of creating a sand mandala is believed to bring purification and healing on all these levels. The Phuba Mandala Display Center showcases the intricate art of creating sand mandalas, which are crafted using pinched fingers and dyed colored sands. This traditional practice, rooted in Buddhist culture and philosophy, depicts profound concepts of the universe and life. The center offers a fascinating insight into this unique art form, revealing its symbolic and spiritual significance.

The Lung-dhar, or Wind Horse, consists of colored square cloths that represent the five elements: yellow for earth, green for wood, white for iron, blue for water, and red for fire. These cloths are inscribed with prayers and mantras. Lung-dhars are typically displayed outdoors in elevated locations where the wind is stronger. The movement of the prayer flags in the wind is believed to activate their blessings, as wind symbolizes the mind and mental energy. Hanging the flags is also a meditative practice, engaging the senses of sight (viewing the flags), sound (hearing them flutter), thought (reflecting on the prayers), and touch (the physical act of hanging them)
