A few of us coveners had the blessed opportunity to see the monks of the Drepung Loseling Monastery at Mercyherst College create a mandala sand painting, and perform ceremonial chants. At the end of the week they destroyed the mandala, poured the sand into an urn and took it to Dobbins Landing in Erie, PA where they conducted ritual and poured the sand as well as water, milk and lillies into the lake with a blessing for the city.
