Sand Mandala
 |
| A Tibetan monk creates a Mandala using dyed sand particles. Once the painting is complete it is viewed for only a short period of time and then is destroyed to symbolize the temporal nature of life. All or part of the sand is then deposited into a natural body of water in a mindful act to spread peace throughout the world. |
