The mandala created at Mia, in partnership with the Tibetan American Foundation of Minnesota and the Jangchub Choeling nuns, was a Green Tārā Mandala. Green Tārā is a central deity in Tibetan Buddhism. She is believed to be incarnated as the Nepali princess Bhrikuti Devi, whose influence helped establish Buddhism in Tibet.
