Merle,
May it go well!
I've sometimes watched Tib. monks making the great sand mandala once per year
during the Kalachakra ceremony. Fascinating way of making
it. And then of pouring it all back in the can after the ceremony's
done (but not for re-use, since all the colors are then mixed)!
Dalai Lama was a great friend of my Shifu, and vice-versa. I saw the
Dalai Lama three times at big venues in New York City. He also
appeared here in Tucson and gave a three-day teaching, but by then,
I was ready to let him come and go because my attention was on our
Zen sangha in town.
Then, my shifu met with him for a three-day conference in New York,
May 1-3, 1998. Many of us took part. A slim book came out of it:
H.H. the 14th Dalai Lama, and Venerable Chan Master Sheng Yen,
MEETING OF MINDS: A DIALOGUE ON TIBETAN AND CHINESE BUDDHISM, 1999;
Dharma Drum Publications, New York.
