Mandalas

[Jace]

Whilst living in our capital city I had the opportunity to witness several monks creating a sand mandala
watching their painstaking expertise was awesome. The patterns and colours were amazing.I'm sure anyone whose seen this remarkable event would agree and these guys were authentic Tibetan monks.
As we know once the masterpiece is finished it is 'disessembled' Has anyone else seen a mandala being created.

Yes inndeed. I saw couples of tv reportages about lamas. when you see them creating mandalas, what a harmony between them. You can see it in the result: the mandala! It's so wonderful and great and full of light.
i agree with you jace. And i hope see one but in real not just on tv!

No I haven't seen an Mandala..I did see people creating chalk portraits on the sidewalks-and some idiots just walking over them.

Definitly, that has nothing to do with mandalas
In mandalas, i also like the meanings of this act of creation.

Serena, you're welcome.

Wow those are beautiful, we had to do that in Geometry class last year.

 

[Amos Stevens]

Explain to me what that has to do with Geometry?

How was the result? It seems to be difficult to make symetric one!
