Feel the Energy
This Saturday (11/05/05)we watched Tibetan Buddhist monks craft a mandala from thousands of grains of brightly dyed sand at Union Station.........and they had a deconstructing ceremony where they swept away the mandala that they took 5 days to create.
I took this picture at the 'pinnacle' of the chanting at the deconstructing ceremony....and as this 'head monk' had just finished walking around the table that has the mandala on it. I didnt use flash, so that explains some of the light in the background........ but I dont have an explaination for the arching light around the head monk....but it appears as a reflection in a place that isnt reflective. You can see it that it echos the mandala and the pattern.
