NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) – Tibetan monks are traveling the United States and have stopped off in New Orleans to make a world peace mandala.

The idea is after the monks have spent hours focusing on the project they will destroy the artwork teaching the lesson of impermanence. You can see the monks working until Sunday at the New Orleans Healing Center at 2372 St Claude Ave.
