DESCRIPTION:In keeping with centuries-old tradition\, from April 6–10\, Tib
 etan Buddhist monks from the Drepung Loseling Monastery create and then rit
 ually destroy an intricate sand mandala painting. On April 8\, one of the m
 onks delivers a special lecture on belonging in an increasingly globalized 
 world.\n\n \n\nWhy Do We Need Each Other?\n\n \n\nLecture by Gonsa Rinpoche
 \n\nwith translation by Geshe Tsewang Punchok\n\n \n\nIn a changing reality
 \, shaped particularly by social media and increasing globalization\, we ha
 ve become much closer and much more dependent on each other. These changes 
 are neither inherently positive nor negative\, but they represent a marked 
 acceleration in our pace of life and range of accessibility. At the same ti
 me\, our lives have become much more volatile and vulnerable\, calling for 
 an unprecedented sense of responsibility and belonging. How do we achieve t
 his? What role can each of us play?
