Buddhist Monks Of Tibet - Sand Chant For World Peace

EDIT: People couldn't seem to play nice, so comments have been disabled. For one week, the Buddhist Monks Of Tibet worked to create a complex sand painting in the name of world peace and then destroyed it to symbolize life and death. This video is of the chant they sing before destroying the sand art. ------- Hehehe, the first video I took using my little HP digital camera. I'm surprised how clear it really came out. :) Enjoy!

Video Rating: 4 / 5
