so last week we had some tibetan monks construct a sand mandala. it was an incredible piece of artwork...eight monks contibuted to the mandala but it looked like it had been crafted by a single person.

anyways, at the end of the madala construction the monks destroy their work as a symbol of the impermanence of life.








there is a lesson to be learned...perhaps not that wearing red robes and living a life of simplicity will save you so much as knowing that our life is but a breath. i am forever learning to live as a stranger and alien in this world as i look forward to a kingdom whose architect and builder is the Lord Himself ;o)
