His Holiness Dagchen Rinpoche’s hand holds a vajra drawing lines that close the Hevajra Mandala, after the empowerment, Tharlam Monastery of Tibetan Buddhism, Boudha, Kathmandu, Nepal by Wonderlane on Flickr. I have the greatest respect for people with the patience and skill to create sand mandalas. Even more so when I think of the ephemeral nature of the artwork, it’s such a contrast to all of us who try to create something that will last forever. They create in the full knowledge that it won’t last out the week.
