Say Goodbye to Summer and Hello to Fire Season
Labor Day Weekend heralds the end of summer and the beginning of fall in most of the country. But in California our fall is fire season. Although we've been very lucky this summer with mild temperatures the Pasadena Fire Department wants to remind you that the risk of fire is still high. Clear out any brush that might be around your home and take care when operating gas powered equipment because it only takes on spark to start a roaring fire in dry brush.

Buddhist Monks Create Sand Mandala
The Pacific Asia Museum will host on Sept. 7 to
11 a group of Gaden Jangtse Buddhist monks who will create a sand
mandala in the museum’s Focus Gallery and a butter floral
sculpture in the Courtyard from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. daily. On Sept.
7, at 10:00 a.m., the event opens with an Opening Blessing, followed by
a mandala lecture by Geshe Tenzin Sherab. Construction of the mandala
begins with the opening ceremony, which includes chanting of Buddhist
prayers, and continues over the next five days. An ancient art form
unique to the Tibetan brand of Buddhism, the sand mandala involves
creating complicated design of the “world in its divine
form” using fine sand that is ground and dyed by hand.
