closing the border

Received in email today, this video of a ceremony along the Indian-Pakistani border. Aside from the knee-jerk snickers it invites, I found it pretty instructive of the human heart and mind. But that's just me.

    Hmmmm...I don't find it any more deserving of snickering than traditions that are a thousand years old or more -- like mandatory shaving of heads, wearing a robe that hasn't changed much and isn't particularly practical, or not fulfilling basic bodily needs like eating after noon.

    There are a lot of rituals for closing the borders. Not all of them are quite so ornate, but some are dressed up in more subtle trappings.

    'emotions' occur at the boundaries between mandalas.
