Observe an ancient ritual of creation and impermanence as Tibetan Buddhist monks from the Drepung Loseling Monastery create and then ritually destroy an intricate sand mandala painting. In keeping with centuries-old tradition the lamas begin by consecrating the site through chants, music, and mantra recitation. Over the days that follow, the lamas create a mandala by meticulously hand-placing millions of colored grains of sand on a wooden platform.
