Please join us in welcoming the Drepung Monks back to Telluride. They will be opening the 40th anniversary festival with a special meditation on love & peace open to all festivarians as they begin the creation of a large mandala sand painting. The Drepung Monks powerful presence will be woven throughout all 4 days of the festival's tapestry culminating in a profound main stage set on Sunday morning...

This is a nice surprise! I was a huge fan of their set last time and loved getting to watch them create their Mandala. Very good work, guys!

Cool!  I definitely want to see these guys, and I've always wanted to see one of those sand paintings.  I'll miss having a gospel set, but maybe I can get up to the Mtn. Village to confess my multitude of sins at early church at St. Michael's (assuming I didn't consume too much crunchy frog and yucca the night before - ha!) and make it back down to the festival in time to see the Monks do their thing.  Best of both worlds!   Wink

I posted this over on FB but I'm just so happy about your decision over there I wanted to share here too.

The river ceremony during the monks last visit was one of the most wonderful experiences I've ever had in Telluride, and that's saying a lot because there have been so very many over the last twenty years. As I stood 20 feet downstream meditating on the idea of all the love and intention for peace they poured into that mandala so carefully over the course of days being poured by plastic cup (sacred even in the profane) to spread to all the world through the waters of the San Miguel and beyond is awesome, powerful and lasting. The winds lifting prayer flags and taking the same message everywhere to everyone is the same concept. I have always felt like we are all, as individuals, doing a similar thing when we bring back all the goodness of those days together and add them to the vibrations of our lives all over this country and even world. I simply cannot imagine a more appropriate response to the ugliness of hate. Planet people, thank you. You are incredible!

I think I should have no other mortal wants, if I could always have plenty of music. It seems to infuse strength into my limbs and ideas into my brain. Life seems to go on without effort, when I am filled with music.

One of my all time favorite sights was one of the monks joining a hacky sack circle and the ecstatic welcome he received.  That's the spirit right there.
