The Mandala will be deconstructed and the > sand dispersed on February 17. The images will remain available on > HCI indefinitely. > > Any questions for the monks or comments can be sent via email to: > > mandala@chron.com I've received a number of messages reminding me that this is not the first time a Tibetan sand mandala has been constructed in the West. This is certainly true - I have seen another myself. This is the first construction of the Mandala of Hayagriva, which is what the note was intended to say (and why the word "Mandala" was capitalized). It is most likely the first sand mandala construction viewable on the Web, but we're not sure - we'd love to hear of any similar project. I apologize for any confusion caused by the wording, and hope that you enjoy the mandala! Our thanks go to all those who wrote with words of encouragement. -- Matt @8^1 -- Matt Cohen INET: Matt.Cohen@chron.com Electronic Media Operations FONE: +1 713 220 7023 The Houston Chronicle WWW : http://www.chron.com 801 Texas Avenue, Houston, TX 77002 "Pluralitas non est ponenda "Houston's Leading Information Source" sine neccesitate."
