sand mandala

It took six days for a group of Buddhist monks to create an extravagant sand mandala at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia.

But you can watch the entire process in about two minutes thanks to the time-lapse video above.

6 days' concentration in short time-lapse photography:

A masterpiece in minutes

Absolutely amazing.

Thanks for sharing.

That rocks

One aspect of Tibetan Buddhism which I have not seen mentioned around the web, (but could have very well been mentioned by someone) is how the thought, intention and prayers from the process of manifesting the mandala are then placed into (in this case) a river. Tibetan prayer flags also hold this same principle. The very principle Dr. Emoto writes about regarding water (and that other dude I posted here awhile back that has verified experiments with healers and water)

Thx for the beauty Hippy
