Time Lapse Making of a Mandala: The Crow Collection of Asian Art

[@rimstrae]

You can imagine the super human level of patience and focus these monks have, wow

[@tylerblack6195]

Life is born. It is gorgeous. It grows. It dies. Beauty of life.

This is not only beautiful...it's a lesson.

[@emigr07]

That is so beautiful! I want my life to be this colorful again

[@uuuhhhggg123]

I think this is the most amazing thing ive ever seen

[@dannybrowneyes]

Thank you Melonie for sharing this

[@ИгорьШиманский-г7ю]

Спасибо большое за прекрасные находки.Всегда считал изображение Мандал Высшим видом Искусства...Удачи Вам во всем и творческих бесконечных полетов,радости,и Любви!!!

[@UrMomsUnforgivable]

I think the most amazing part is the destruction.

[@jakescorpion1]

oh me too, that really took a great deal of thought...

[@brandonquenneville7330]

Your brain has damage

[@clipitty]

I agree

[@kauekairony990]

@@brandonquenneville7330 Yes mine sure does

[@zakuryeuh]

really amazing video. thanks so much for this.

[@JMSTipsAndTricks]

This is a true example of precision in action. The entire mandala is an expression of their collective conscious in the sense that not one of them would be able to create the whole thing on their own. It's an example of the Buddhist concept of dependent arising. I'm overtly attempting to collect videos of creations and ideas of this caliber on my channel as well.

[@richardroyce8396]

Good going. The more one does to honor this being in the present the lower our group entropy becomes. More connection, more understanding, more love.

[@metalmark8]

This was amazing to watch. And your comment is up top and it's worthy of top comment! Very nice response from you. Namaste 🙏

[@nela229]

i´m speechless... amazing!!!

[@vi-wi5ji]

I hate how there are comments saying it was a waste of time...you can't tell people what to do with their lives. If you want to do something it is not a waste, it is part of their religion and it is not up to you to disrespect that. They made a piece of beautiful artwork, but it would get destroyed anyway, it represents impermenance, and if you see it as a waste of time you obviously cannot see the world as it truly is.

[@richardroyce8396]

Nicely said!

[@NostalgieLand]

Magnifique! Une merveille!

[@Guardyourself1]

Amazing ! Thank you for sharing this ! :)

[@finncromer-cherry2662]

How do they not exhail and blow the sand away

[@AudioOpulent]

Imagine if one of them sneezed

[@youngmonk2121]

😂😂

[@marianapreto84]

Does anyone knows which mantra the monks were singing?

[@razorphx]

the Navajos make Sand Mandalas too.... after it serves its purpose of "healing" a patient it is also destroyed and taken out of the hogan by the medicine man... amazing stuff

[@romepix]

Råzôr Fenix that’s amazing. I would love to see that.

[@luminariel3765]

Would make an exquisite and incredibly complicated piece of painted glass. Hmm.

[@Jakenbake98]

+Lumi Nariel hmm

[@Mark-jy4qt]

Lol hmmmm.... that would be something!

[@jyungsam]

I’ve an interview in few hours, I’m nervous as hell. I’m listening to this and it’s slightly helping my anxiety.

[@forgottendiamonds]

Hope the interview went well!

[@michmat77]

That's right! Nothing is permanent!

[@forgottendiamonds]

Glad you like it. Yes I see what you mean about losing the meditative quality, if I had it to do over again maybe slow the cut aways of the monks dropping the sand on the mandala to slow mo would accomplish that. We missed the feeding into the water. Bummer

[@robot6]

This is an excellent video, it shows all aspects of the making of this mandala. I want to see what happens with the sand afterward, the offering to the water. I think that in some ways the time lapse makes the viewer loose the meditative quality of the task.

[@fuldagermany]

Fascinating

[@Jakenbake98]

+Minahh yes!

[@JohnCane147]

How does that dude do those metal vocals?

[@Peterthechinamen]

i need this song this guy is singing

[@BaSSKuLtCHA]

impressionante...troppo avanti..

[@dhhdhdhdhdhhddhdhdhdhddyru2379]

2:37 You can tell it's building up to something

[@jb.drills]

The Mandala will visually remain as long as this video is not destroyed. Is this an irony? For how long?

[@Fnatic2010]

As it is said emptiness is form and form is emptiness. The mandala in the video in the mind of monks are already no more. This form here is just an empty of value, bunch of sands. Outside educational sense, it doesn't have much value to the monk and it doesn't exist for them.

[@romepix]

Love it

[@brucegelman5582]

Your observation proves that our devotion to video is an illusion.

[@WiFi_Millionairez]

This is so funny😂

[@trancesoul3323]

Can anyone tell me what does mandala signify I just knw it hold some importance bt I dnt knw wat is it? It intrigues me I hv questions in my head

[@dananjayachan]

+pspjerry its only make when they do offering

[@Jakenbake98]

+pspjerry once an hour

[@jingfayeip3582]

WOW

[@yuvazi]

What a piece of art this is amazing but I GOT TRIGGERED WHEN THEY ROWANED IT

[@darthshan1400]

It's a part of their religion, its to teach you that nothing is permanent and that attachment to objects is bad for you.

[@judequalls8197]

the fact you are irritated by this shows that the obsession with the impermanent is bad.

[@iamcleaver6854]

And then someone sneezes...

[@azrulmuhamed7222]

I'm here because of Francis and Claire

[@boo9oob]

...and then they sorted the sand!

[@Jakenbake98]

+boo9oob yes!

[@pinksheep406]

These monks did this standing up and not exhaling too hard for hours on end. They made a wonderful mandala. I know my dumb self would have sneezed and destroyed it.

[@faizhashmi4112]

5:49 😢😢

[@sybillenova1465]

Life for a Buddha and Bodhisattva i n c l u d e s death.There are no colours.The colours bring us joy and peace of mind,but then the migrating monks dissolve the most beautiful,accomplished sand mandalas and distribute the tainted sand in the ocean or wind...t o t a l l y non attached..and they go the next town or country ,performing their divine magic and artistic accomplishment again...and again leave without leaving traces .MEMENTO MORI is a c o n s t a n t part of Buddhist life..FLIP THE SWITCH so to say....LIFE LIKE A T A P D A N C E W I T H D E A T H....open and novus/nova like a toddler and always emotionally detatched from but curious about THE NEXT DAY...

Hey hang on guys.... *ACHOO* oops, sorry.

[@mcdiggles1141]

I guess that’s another lesson in snotty impermanence.

[@marti-greciaodalyz9863]

impermanence-is much desired/expected by our Ego-these sand mandalas which are alike "group project-efforts" are made with great care/devotion/& total commitment for the sake of teaching us-to let go of Ego-IT IS: having created something supposedly from what is the proudest creativity within ourselves-then just like THAT! Letting it go-in return: We free ourselves! impermanence-the expectation of it to REIGN-Is what holds us PRISONERS OF EGO-by letting it go-we are made to return to true SELF.

[@rayjr62]

Evidentially you didn't think so otherwise you wouldn't have posted anything to this thread.

[@MonokelJohn]

Why?

[@thatJoseph]

As the painting is destroyed to symbolize how life is finite.. So should this video be deleted

[@ionescuLion]
