Wiping away the sand
The sand mandala, created throughout five days by monks from the Drepung Loseling Monastery in India, represents Buddhist compassion.
A member of the Drepung Loseling monks begins the transformation of the compassion Buddha mandala before more than 300 intensely curious onlookers in Library Hall at Bud Werner Memorial Library on Wednesday night. The program continued with a short parade on 13th Street and a riverside ceremony at the Steamboat Spring.
