About This Lesson
Students begin by conducting a formal visual analysis of the Hayagriva Sand Mandala, followed by probing more deeply into the symbols & the religious significance of the mandala. Students will create symbols that reflect their private experiences & then research the daily life More… of a monk to understand better the symbols in the mandala. As a class, students will then develop communal symbols & incorporate them in a community line drawing. They will compare this experience to that of the monks after watching a video about the Wheel of Healing Mandala. RL.6.7 , RL.6.8 , RL.6.9
