The Tashi Kyil Monks Tibetan Buddhist monks just arrived at our library. They will be speaking on campus, and they will also be creating a sand mandala in our main floor during this week.

I'll try to get some photos soon.

Another progress update on monks' sand mandala. I expect it to be fully done sometime this evening, at most early morning tomorrow.

They'll then take it apart so sand is deposited in a creek nearby, so it returns to the Earth before they move on.

Final update: The monks' sand mandala is done. They finished it on Thursday (9/11). It was then disassembled on Friday and the sand taken to a creek near the college to return it to the Earth as is Tibetan tradition.
