Spencer Museum of Art, Lawrence Kansas.
Not far from the geographical center of the contiguous United States which is located in Lebanon, Kansas, are Tibetan Buddhist monks.
These monks are from the same monastery (Drepung Gomang Monastic College) in India who performed a sand mandala in Kansas City earlier this week.
Their intent is to release world peace.
The mandala depicts a deity or deities, by creating and releasing the mandala, they indicate that it honors the deity or deities which in turn blesses the region.
Two mandalas in a week in Kansas, in the center of the United States… lose dry close to the IHOP International House of Prayer Christian community.
