In January, 2002, eight Gaden Shartse Tibetan Monks created a Yamantaka sand mandala in Grass Valley, CA. Grass Valley is located on the 39th latitude. They asked to have the mandala be considered as part of the Art Line.
Geshe Yeshe Phuntsok and Geshe Lobsang Donyoe conducted a Twenty-one Tara blessing for the Art Line Project at the request of Joan Champion and Marilyn Larson. Following the dissolution of the Yamantaka, packets of sand were presented for inclusion at other Art Line sites.
A parallel - but equally important part of the project is the grass roots effort. We encourage anyone who lives on or near the Art Line to build their own labyrinths and to let us know their location so it can be added to this list. There cannot be too many labyrinths on the line! In addition, we want each site to have a caretaker, who encourages people to actively use it.
We are looking for contact people who live in towns or cities within 14 miles of the 39.1 degree north latitude. Ideally, we would like to have someone to help get their local community interested and involved in the project. The goal is to make the construction a community event. We are also looking for a caretaker for each site who will oversee its maintenance and who we can be in touch with to coordinate an Art Line event.
If you know of other labyrinths or other interesting landmarks already existing on the line, please send a description. The location of any site within the USA can be determined by going to Topozone or Terraserver.
