Tibetan Monks at the Crow Collection This Week
On Sunday, seven Tibetan monks from the Drepung Loseling Monastery in Atlanta began a mandala to celebrate new beginnings, in this case the opening of the AT&T Performing Arts Center this week. My one IPhone photo does no justice to the ceremony (the nice pictures sent by the Crow Collection people were too big for the blog, or so WordPress tells me).
The intricate work on the mandala will continue all week on the second flow of the Crow Collection. On Friday, there will be a prayer flag presentation ceremony at 6 pm, with viewing until midnight. On Saturday, the monks will conduct a shamala meditation sitting from 1 to 2 pm. On Sunday, the monks will conduct a closing ceremony in which the mandala is dismantled, reminding us of the impermanence of all things.
