Yesterday we went to see a mandala made by a Tibetan monk. You know, a mandala -- a "painting" made from colored sand, which they spend two weeks building and then destroy, to illustrate and then demonstrate the circle of life. We actually got to put a few of the colored grains of sand in the painting while the monks looked on in awe. heehee. Not really. But it was pretty sweet. The display was in an Episcopal Cathedral right next door to my beloved place of employment. I took these pictures with my camera when the monks weren't looking (just kidding again--man, you're gullible).
If you are interested in seeing the progression of the artist's work, here's the link. It takes a while to load, so be patient--like a monk.
