Saw the final ceremonies of the monks of the Drepung Loseling Monastery today. For most of the week they've been making a Mandala sand painting(which is apparently actually crushed and dyed marble), and today they swept it up, gave out some of the sand to those fortunate to be there(I have my little packet of sand right next to my laptop's touchpad now), and poured some of it into the pond here at my college. Quite the interesting ceremony to observe.
