We are welcoming Spring
with a colossal supply of plants
and incredible edibles.
Buddhist monks also use sand to express the concept of
impermanence, but in artfully painstaking detail, tapping tapered
metal funnels filled with fine coloured sand. The mandala designs
themselves are filled with symbolism.
The creators then destroy their own work; the masterpiece is
ritually brushed from the edges to the centre in a dissolution
ceremony, then the collected mingled ‘healing’ sand is offered to
the waters of the ocean.
Last October, monks created such a mandala: see “Waiheke
Island Sand Mandala of Medicine Buddha” on Facebook and view
video on YouTube.

Thoughts from others-
DISSOLUTION of the TIBETAN SAND MANDALA
“This existence of ours is as transient as autumn clouds. To watch the
birth and death of beings is like looking at the movements of a dance.
A lifetime is like a flash of lightning in the sky, rushing by, like a torrent
down a steep mountain.”
– Guatama Buddha
“Awareness of impermanence and appreciation of our human potential
will give us a sense of urgency that we must use every precious moment.”
– Dalai Lama
“Impermanence is a principle of harmony. When we don’t struggle
against it, we are in harmony with reality.”
– Pema Chodron, American, Tibetan Buddhist nun
“How keen everyone is to make this world their home forgetting its
impermanence. It’s like trying to see and name constellations in a
fireworks display.”
– Nadeem Aslam, prize-winning British-Pakistani novelist
“Nothing in the world is permanent, and we’re foolish when we ask
anything to last, but surely we’re still more foolish not to take delight in
it while we have it.”
– W. Somerset Maugham, British playwright and novelist
