and while I'm uploading pictures
Aug. 17th, 2006 08:33 amHere are the photos I took of the monks from the Drepung Loseling Monastery who come to visit Hampton every summer.
The interior shots are of the closing ceremony of their visit of teaching and fundraising. The ceremony involved music, chanting, and the erasure of the sand mandala they created while they were there. Afterward they gave away little packets with some of the sand.
The outside shots are of their procession to the nearby river, where they had more music, more chanting, and scattered the remaining sand and flowers into the water.
