A group of visiting Tibetan monks came to Clark College in Vancouver, Washington. Over four days they created a sand mandala in Cannell Library. From memory, they recreated a pattern called “Buddha of Compassion,“ which is believed to bring compassion to our entire region. On the final day, the monks sweep up the sand mandala, which is meant to symbolize the impermanence of existence. Some of the sand gets scattered into a nearby river, but most of it is given to people who have witnessed this ceremony.
