Mandala


Listen Later

Mandala is an episode that showcases the ephemerality of the sand art ritual the Buddhist Monks practice, and through that draws parallels to the cycle of life. Just to observe, on the face of it the Mandala making is a fascinating ritual but it has such deep, profound connection with life and the phases of life. 

"Mandala" meaning centre in Sanskrit, represents the Buddha in the centre of the Mandala formation. It also is an abstract representation for seeing oneself through Buddha. The practice lasts for weeks, and when the art is completed, it's wiped off. It is hard to comprehend that weeks of effort is wiped off just without any guilt, void or pain.
