Sand mandala: Tibetan Buddhist ritual
Вставка

- Mandalas are of profound symbolic value in Tantric Buddhism and are regarded by some as sacred. They can take a variety of forms: from simple diagrams and elaborate paintings on cloth, to complicated patterns of coloured sand and large three dimensional carved structures.
Sand Mandalas represent the universe and act as an architectural blueprint of the enlightened mind. They can also function as a contemplative aid in visualisation meditation.
Mandalas often refer to secret Tantric doctrine and highlight the ideals of the Buddhist path which includes putting an end to suffering, attaining enlightenment and understanding reality through the Wisdom of Emptiness.
At the heart of this medicine mandala is a lotus throne and on it is a sacred medical text. Seated within the petals of a lotus flower are the Eight Medicine Buddhas, who came into the world to save sentient beings from the five degenerations: shortened life-span, delusions, degenerate persons, time and wrong views. In the outer sections the disciples of the Medicine Buddhas are represented by symbols.
A rare opportunity to observe the creation and offering of a "Mela" or Medicine Mandala, made from tiny grains of vibrantly coloured sand, with Tibetan Buddhist monks from the Tashi Lhunpo monastery in India. Sand Mandalas are unique to Tibetan Buddhism, representing an architectural blueprint of the enlightened mind, functioning - among other things - as a contemplative aid in visualisation meditation.

Even destroyed Manadala looks beautiful :)
School work sent me here
All I can think about is how difficult it would have to be to divide and store the multicoloured sands again.
Imagine if they sneeze
They'd laugh about it:)
maby theres a munck code, they have to pass first? see the pepper, sniffe the pepper, now ignorer the pepper. poor kids xD
According to what I was reading about this ritual on Wikipedia, they use a dense variety of sand that is resistant to wind or sneezing.
when I make a sand mandala, like that, I'm going to take outside on a windy day and let it all blow away peacefully.
Thanos likes your style
i am gonna blow or use a desk fan
This is a most perfect way to create. Holding onto a creation makes it stale and makes it lose its vigor.
Like cartoons.
I agree thats why I got rid of my kids
@@ihatefurries3441 wait what
I once saw a vid of a group of maybe 4 women go into trance and then making a huge sand Mandala working perfectly synchronized without ever looking at anything but their spot - with exactly matched pace so they finished at the same time working from a corner each in total silence. Wish I could find it again, it was truly exquisite and mystical..
Did you know that mandala was actually originated from Hinduism? Yeah, it's true. We Hindus make small scale sand mandalas everyday near the house entrance as an ancient tradition. Wherever they are made, they are beautiful bring positivity to the environment. But I gotta say, Buddhist mandalas are really beautiful and spiritual.
Daily dose sent me
Exactly!
Yo me to
Same.
Ughhh he deleted the video
Me tooo bro
I am constantly moving year after year, but I love to veggie garden everywhere I go. That is my personal sand mandala ❤️
To be speak the truth: Monks are on a completely higher existence when it comes physiologically and spiritually due to the fact of not wasting their times on phones, politics, power, objects and how Canadians make the best syrup.
Canadians DO make the best maple syrup. It's a fact
I can confirm I live in Manitoba Canada.
@@watashinihayumegaarimasu7609 not gonna lie what you just wrote to me made me laugh a bit, especially the boomer bit xD.
Thanks for that reply.
Not that i want to discredit you or anything. But the good that comes from that is not the usual type. It ain't about making a piece of art that you hang or that you sell. It is about internal peace. That's why they have no qualms about destroying it. Much like people are fine with server wipes in something like Ark survival evolved and Rust. They lose all progress, yet it is essential to the game.
This is no different, except there is spirituality involved. Look I ain't trying to make it sound like it is a deep fucking thing that only intellectuals can understand cause it ain't the case. But I am almost certain that those monks are far happier then most westerner.
@@Dimitri88888888 hmm, I guess I can agree with that, especially after the "server wipe" part, I guess you ain't a boomer after all.
Instead of wasting their time on politics they waste time making sand drawings that they just yeet into a nearby river or sumthing once they are done
Beautiful Mandala! perfect shapes.
Beautiful documentary and commentary.
Good life lesson
The best way do deal with destructive energies ..so i was taught
Awe inspiring
Dude if I were the guy destroying the mandala I’d be bellyflopping all over the mandala ‘cause then I’D be the art 😂
that was beautiful
maybe they're attached to the destroying part so they should let go of that as well, checkmate
brilliant video
Imagine taking one of those mandalas after having been completed; and putting it into an oven so that the sand gets converted to glass. Glass, being a liquid, will eventually deform the original image, thereby still holding to the idea of impermanence; but it would have greater staying power than it has in the form of sand.
Destroyed mandala: I’m still beautiful
Monks: Uhh I can explain
impressive
snort it
Nice
These monks always have ultra instinct
Gorguts!!!
this is so beautiful (the colors especially like pop art kind of)^^ but I also want to use this theorie of creating and then destroying but I will not draw mandalas but draw other art pieces and destroy them afterwards by burning them :D haha because I get to attached to my music and art and this hinders my flow and experience of the moment, I am to fixated on the outcome.! :) I hope this will help me in life^^ :D :)
who else is here on a zoom call with your class
Its so sad when they destroy it
That's why they do it. To practice detachment.
Yes... I think thats what life is about.. :)
It makes me think about the fragility of life.
They destroy it because they have learned to never be emotional attached to something you’ve made
Why is it sad? You cant hold onto anything in life. Even our emotions
Who else here from the brilliant scene of this from the House of Cards!?
Me! lol Season 3 Episode 7. sooo pretty!
Hello 8C
Imagine if a monk is allergic to coloured sand and asked to help them with the mandala
ahhh noice
Imagine if someone sneeze
AAAAACHHOOOO! Ah crap
My god imagine that during allergy season
Lmaoo it’s gonna be gone like the wind!! 🤧🤣
I wanna see what they can do with legos
que dice esov:
ngl that’s a waste of lapis u could use that for enchanting
Imagine just making that beautiful masterpiece, poring your heart and soul into it to make it so perfect.
But then some idiot just turns on the fan and ruins it.
That's kind of what they're doing
@@blobface103 except that they turn on the fan on purpose
~ But they record it -
Bhayangaram
They look like air nomads from avatar
wow.. nice i upload himalayan buddhist monks fb page....
if you have time and money to live like that....
Destruction of Mandala is to teach the impermanence of our existence.
Anyone from Ms. Sprague’s 3D art class?😂
No
Neil V it’s a joke, my teacher sent me here and I was wondering if anyone at my school actually cared enough to do this lmao
Yeah. I was joking too lol. I figured as much.
The narrator doesn’t truly understand what this practice is about. She’s more like a commentator.
Daily Doozers Click here.....
just saying, if i had spent days or weeks creating sand mandalas i wouldn't regret to destroy it too. it's just nothing. just a couple days wasted.
i doubt you can learn from it something about "don't be emotionally attached to somebody or something"
