Tibetan Monks-Sand Art Podcast
In April 2006 St. Cloud State University hosted an amazing exhibit and performance from the famed Tibetan Loseling monks of the Drepung Monestary. Atwood Memorial Center’s (student union) art gallery was a four-day home for the monks as they created a mandala sand painting. Students, faculty and community members were entranced by their intricate work with tiny particles of colored sand. Astonished it would be destroyed once complete.
KVSC’s news director during their visit was Samrat Kharel–a Nepalese national. Kharel produced this award winning radio feature on the monks breathtaking work. He tells their story with eloquence and from a perspective most Americans can hope to learn from.
