White Buddha Temple · December 2025

From White Buddha Temple

We joined twenty Gelug monks at White Buddha Temple from 4–18 December 2025, as they made a Vajradhātu sand mandala for Mahāvairocana, the Great Illuminator Buddha.

At the end of the ceremony, they placed a little of the sand in our hands. We sealed it in silver so you could carry it with you.

Our promise to White Buddha Temple

Our promise to White Buddha Temple

From every batch of mandala sand jewelry, we will donate 5% of proceeds to White Buddha Temple, where the mandala is made and the sand is blessed.

A blessing, given

For someone you want to keep close.

A few things you may be wondering

Where does the sand come from?

The sand comes from a Diamond-Realm mandala made by twenty Gelug monks at White Buddha Temple in Qinghai, 4–18 December 2025. You can see the ceremony on The Blessed Sand® page.

Can I open the locket?

The sand compartment is permanently sealed and is not designed to open. Both lockets rotate: turn the center while making a wish or saying a prayer.

How do I care for it?

Keep your piece away from water, perfume and lotion. Store it separately and wipe it with a soft, dry cloth after wearing.
