The Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Princeton will host a group of Buddhist monks of Shartse Gaden from Aug. 21 to 25 for public events that include the construction of a sand Mandala and Dharma talks on Buddhist teachings. All events will be held at UU Princeton and are open to the public as space allows. The opening and closing sand Mandala ceremonies are ticketed events with some reserved walk-in space.  Donations are suggested for viewing the mandala construction and attending Dharma talks.

All ticket sales and donations will benefit the Gaden monastery. The monastery was founded in Tibet by the famous Buddhist scholar Tsongkhapa Losang Drakpa in 1409 and was reestablished in Mundgod, India, in 1970 after China invaded Tibet.
