It's the kind of art I really respect because it takes so much effort, imagination, and discipline to pull off. And in this case, it also takes teamwork as I see more than one monk there. WOW. : . .

bodhi23 Paranoid (IV) Inmate From: Greensboro, NC USA Insane since: Jun 2002	posted 05-21-2004 22:43 Very beautiful! I just don't have that kind of patience... I always thought that sand paintings, either eastern or Native American were usually done without first drawing out the pattern, though I imagine that they just wanted to make sure it was perfect. It's not as impressive as it could be!

Suho1004 Maniac (V) Inmate From: Seoul, Korea Insane since: Apr 2002	posted 05-22-2004 11:41 Absolutely beautiful... but did you guys see the last page, where they brush it all away? Now that is some real Buddhism in action... casting aside all attachment to this work of art you spent weeks working on to brush it all away in a few moments. As beautiful as the mandala itself was, I think I found its "deconstruction" more impressive than its construction. ___________________________ Suho: www.liminality.org \| Cell 270 \| Sig Rotator \| Keeper of the Juicy Bits

InSiDeR Maniac (V) Inmate From: Oblivion Insane since: Sep 2001	posted 05-22-2004 23:10 Sand tapestries are actually very common in buddhist art because they take intense concentration and discipline let alone patience to successfully create a piece of art. And, of course... they blow it all away, and instead of remembering the appearance of the art they focus all their memory in the experience and process of creating it to contribute to their center .
Lacuna Maniac (V) Inmate From: the Asylum ghetto Insane since: Oct 2002	posted 05-23-2004 05:01 i find it to be quite reflective of life. things rarely work out how they're planned... you do what you can and sweep up the remainder. not exactly like what they've done...but close enough for me If you can't smoke it, eat it or fuck it, throw it away!
