Sand Mandala - A Time To Build, A Time To Destroy

(One man band by Mantai Chow)
Tibetan monks spent almost a week creating this intricate colored sand painting at Brookfield Place in New York before dismantling it at a ceremony.

Its a beautiful lesson when you keep going deeper in thought about it

[@ProfessorTakatoPalm]

It’s a sad, but true message. Never get overly attacked to something, nothing lasts forever. However, the memories you have of it will.

[@pepper5128]

No they won't cause at some point you will die

the body doesn't last forever but your soul does. A truly meaningful message.

[@kai1ey]

yes your soul does last forever. your soul is energy (not that we HAVE souls, we are souls) and it cannot be created nor destroyed- just transferred.

[@trojantester9171]

Navajos have a similar process but they use it during ceremonies for a healing process. Interesting work and great detailing of the Buddha’s 💯💯💯🥳

I have the exact same fear I love my dad a lot and am very sad that I have to let him go one day

[@amerj5243]

On the contrary, that is a good thing , to be good to and to love & respect your parents, God appreciates that, but you should know that we are all mortal , if both of you are good, and I'm certain you are ( because of your comment) .. you will meet again in the afterlife..regardless of who leaves this world first... and then you will live together forever!

Nothing lasts forever. Things can be taken just as easily as they were given to you.

[@TheGnome-Ad]

If it is destroyed to teach the lesson of non attachment, then what about their religion? Are they not supposed to attach themselves to its teachings? I've learned a lot from this.

[@gavinhendrie2750]

No. The teaching is the vehicle with which Enlightenment is attained. Attachment to the teaching (or anything else, for that matter) is an obstacle to Enlightenment

[@clFer777]

Budha said that is like a boat to get to the other side of a river.. once you get there the boat must be left behind. Now in mundane significance, everything must last what naturally must last. Life, knowledge, things.. understand that and appreciate everything while is there. I mean, there is a timespan when you leverage what you reach, but that is not attachment. That is a "post process". That is what I have understood. Humbly from Chile 🇨🇱

[@Noumenon4Idolatry]

Attachment = desire or need Aversion = the opposite. Everything you abhor and don’t want. Polarization in terms of compulsion. Liberation is freedom from compulsion. You can still be in this universe and do things without compulsion. There is paradox in the answer. Beyond logic is perception. Beyond compulsive polarization = liberation freedom and enlightenment.

[@lingy74]

Eventually even the religion has to be given up and this is also taught in the religion. 😅

Don’t meditate on impermanence unless you want to enter the rabbit hole.

[@pepper5128]

Interesting take, though I disagree wholly.

[@astrobiojoe7283]

Impermanence gets you out of the rabbit hole of permanence that you've entered looong ago.

What does that mean ?

[@tyrantonion6660]

@@gardensofthegods I mean that Germans through effords of discipline and hard work have builded up Germany after WWII from the ashes and their goods were highly valued across the world. Now the german greens continue merkels ruinous work and flush everything that was good about germany down the toilet in a few years. Me and many other people can only stand by and watch how this goes on and on. For example: The last 3 nuclear power plants have been shut down and they were damaged so that nobody could reactivate them again. I need to distance myself from the anger I feel and isolate myself from the madness and stupidity that is unfolding here. Did I answer your question?
