Tibetan monks from the Drepung Loseling Monastery in India, chanted and played instruments during the closing ceremonies culminating their week at Berea College in Berea, Ky., on Friday, April 11, 2008. The monks dismantled the sand mandala they created over five days in a symbol of impermanence, then poured them into a creek below Anglin Falls in Rockcastle County, where they believed the healing powers of the blessed sand would be distributed to the world by way of the water. Berea was one of their stops on the Mystical Arts of Tibet tour. Berea College, which currently has 12 Tibetan students, has had a relationship with the exiled Tibetans since 1991 and the Dalai Lama visited the campus in 1994.
