[The Episcopal Diocese of Kentucky] 21 Oct 2008--Visiting Tibetan Buddhist Monks from the Drepung Gomang Monastery in South India are once again at Christ Church Cathedral to create a Sacred Sand Mandala for Compassion and World Peace, and the public is again invited join the monks in prayer as they work on this extraordinary creation.

The sand mandala design is created through a prayer-filled process, by painstakingly adding small amounts of sand over many days. At the end, recognizing the impermanence of all things, the design is ceremonially swept up and the prayers are released for the benefit of all.
