The Tibetan Wheel of Time

Monks from Dharm Salah, the Dalai Lama's ashram came to Los Angeles to perform a ceremony that they call the Tibetan Wheel of Time. The monks create this sand mandala with these metal tubes, conical tubes that are filled with sand. They have a tapper on the top and a very small, like, very, very small, you know, hole at the bottom,. As they tap the sand comes out and they actually, that's how they control the placement of the sand.
