Artist's Comments

Tibetan monks creating a sand mandala. I took a sand mandala class two years ago from a visiting monk, and it's so incredibly hard to do. The sand is put inside the brass funnel-ish tool, and you brush another piece of metal along a ridge, which compels the sand to come out, just a little at a time. I'm proud of this pic, because you wouldn't believe how many it took to come out well. But then again, maybe you can >.>

#2 in my series from the Tibetan monk tour.

Lol, the class was five hours, and virtually one-on-one, and yet I never got how they made those perfect ridges. 0.o XDD

This moment is all that we have... Our perception is all that we see... Perception is relative... Relativity is devoid of absolute meaning, and is thus empty. I am pondering this at the moment...

It's so small... After looking at that first picture, I expected it to be bigger for some reason...

Have you any idea how ironic it is when someone calls someone a "retart"?

That's to get to the point where you don't mess up. X3

That's when they were starting out, only the first or second day... I'll be posting later additions until the whole thing is finished. And it's huge.
