Coloring Sand Mandalas
Four Buddhist monks are spending this week, bodies folded over a massive disc of wood, meticulously dribbling colored sand designs to form a mandala -- which they'll destroy shortly after it's created. This is a mandala of compassion, explained Tibetan Tashi Dhondup, one of the four visiting monks. Dhondup spoke about the project Monday as he used an instrument called a chakpu on the design under way at the Urban Institute for Contemporary Arts.New Flickr Photos
