This is a great photo and story from Kathy M. “Five Tibetan monks from the Drepung Loseling Phukhang Khangtsen Monastery of southern India, renowned for their construction of sacred sand mandalas, were at the Portland Central Library last week. Portland was part of a three month multi-city tour. Look at the concentration and precision displayed by this monk, despite all the activity around him. Two monks worked all-day for about four days to complete this mandala (still incomplete when this picture was taken).” I sure wish I had seen this in person. Thank you Kathy!
