The little boy spotted the pretty pile of colored sand on the floor of the vast hall and couldn’t resist. Slipping under a protective rope, he danced all over the sand, ruining the carefully crafted picture.
Never mind that it was the creation of eight Tibetan monks who had spent two days cross-legged on the floor of Union Station, meticulously pouring the sand into an intricate design as an expression of their Buddhist faith.
Can’t help thinking that this must be very bad for the boys karma. The monks took it pretty well and I suspect that this is a great way to learn some of the core values of Buddhism, everything is suffering and attachment is the road to suffering. So if they did have any attachment to their creation the would have suffered.
