Tibetan Buddhist Monks

In the Fall of 2005, four Tibetan Buddhist monks visited and lived on the main campus of Lees-McRae College as part of the first official Global Community Week.  Their visit sparked a series of dialogues that escalated into an annual event, dealing with interfaith and cross-cultural programming.  Their visit included the creation of an authentic sand mandala (this event drew over 1,000 visitors from across the high country) with ceremony, classroom visits, a performance of the Yak dance and Snow Lion dance, and multiple lectures on the political, religious and cultural aspects of Tibetan Buddhism and their homeland.
