Although I have not seen the movie yet--and plan to do so within the next
couple of days--I have had the opportunity of watching eight monks from the
famous Deprang Monastary (please forgive my spelling) create a sand mandala
and a special show to fund the refugees in India. These monks recently came
to the University of West Florida, Pensacola, Florida on a special
invitation from our Psycology department. The construction of the sand
mandala was created in the schools art gallery, and as an art student, I
watched when I could, especially between classes. I enjoyed this very much
and talked a little with the monks.
Just wanted to share this little tid bit.
