Description

The abbey and college embraced the weeklong presence of Tibetan monks visiting in April from the Drepung Loseling Monastery in India. The monks were on campus to present traditional dance and to construct a sand mandala – a sacred cosmogram used as an object of contemplation. Through the creation of such a beautiful yet ephemeral work of art, Buddhists believe we bring the creative energy of that dimension into our lives and attune ourselves to this natural perfection. Our timelapse video captures our visitors’ work of devotion.
