Mandala ceremony showcases culture and peace ideals
Monks work from 1 p m to 5 p m today then another ceremony Monday. After three days funneling sands through chak purs all sand will be erased Monday afternoon. Patrons may take a small portion before a procession carries the sand to the Kaw river. Geshe Lobsang Tseten says the mandala symbol promises greater peace and cross cultural respect. Observers film the event while Kansas University student Carin Gavin sketches the monks and their intricate process.
