Buddhists often use sand mandalas in order to express their spirituality.
A sand mandala is an ancient, sacred Tibetan Buddhist art form, which represents a perfect universe. The geometric patterns and colours represent a map to transform the ordinary human mind into an enlightened mind.
To Tibetan Buddhists, destroying the mandala symbolises the impermanence of existence and that nothing lasts forever...
Pouring the sand into water, disperses the healing energies of the mandala throughout the world.
