For the week between Oct. 29 and Nov. 2, a group of Tibetan monks meticulously created, then promptly destroyed a sand mandala. Several monks visited DePaul from the Drepunh Gomang monastery in Mundgod, India and spent the week creating the traditional art piece out of fine colored sand, then, as is the custom, they destroyed the mandala and poured it into into the reflection pond in the Vincentian Residence courtyard. Their visit was sponsored by the DePaul Center for Religion, Culture and Community and the Department of Religious Studies.
