Tibetan sand mandala
Barra
soto zenniewandering in a cloud in beautiful, bucolic Victoria BC, on the wacky left coast of Canada Veteran
Currently at the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria we have a five monks from the Ganden Jangtse Monatery in South India creating a sand mandala. Watching them painstakingly place the coloured sand in the proper pattern is a joy to behold. On October 23, when they will have completed the mandala, it will be swept up and we will form a procession to carry it to the sea, where it will be sent in to the Straight of Juan de Fuca, with our blessings.

There is a beautiful film of it at the beginning of Martin Scorcese's film about HHDL, Kundun.
On the subject of working with sand, although this is 'secular', you may enjoy this wonderful video:
