Many thanks to the Tibetan Meditation Center for their permission to film at their center and also for their participation in this film.  The center is located in the middle of Gambrills State Park, located in Frederick, MD.

Everyone associated with the center were extremely gracious and helpful in helping to make the filming of this scene possible.  I had scouted the location both online and in person over the course of several days.  Each time I visited, it was a calming and accepting experience.  Everything about the center, fit the vision of the scene.

This location is special.  The first owner of this garden, spent over 20 years growing it and developing it.  Being in this space was extremely peaceful and held a lot of love.  I'd like to thank Richard Chisholm for his graciousness and help for us to film at his garden. 

Thank you to the Baltimore Yoga Village's owner, Anjali Sunita, for access and permission to film the creation of a Green Tara sand mandala by the monks of the Drepung Gomang Monastery.

Many thanks to Elena Moscatt and Arthur Magida for their opening the door to being able to film this aspect of the film.

It took 5 days to create the Green Tara sand mandala.  Watching and listening to the sounds of the monks chanting and creating this mandala, is an experience that I highly recommend. 

In filming the monks, it has opened up a thought to do a documentary about the monks who create the sand mandalas and why they do it.
