Tibetan Monks Dismantling Sand Mandala

I posted my first YouTube video three years ago: Tibetan monks from the Drepung Loseling Monastery creating a sand mandala in Santa Fe, NM: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2uazRvR9p0w. They have been coming here every year since 2005, and this year I was able to film some of the dismantling, or destruction, of the piece on December 20, 2009. Their message is that everything is impermanent. It took several monks a couple of weeks to complete the mandala, and this is a different group than the ones three years ago. Visit their site at http://www.drepung.org.
