The mandala deco: In Tantric Buddhism,
The mandala deco: In Tantric Buddhism, it's the delicately laid grains of colored sand that form images representing aspects of the Buddha.

Lama Karma Chopal returns to Santa Fe this weekend to create - and then dissolve - a new sand mandala deco at the Bodhi Stupa of KSK Buddhist Center off Airport Road.

As part of Buddhist belief, all material things are seen as transitory. A sand mandala is an example of this.
