We love the quiet, calm concentration in Flickr user smleon‘s photo of two Buddhist monks working on a sand mandala, with the Dalai Lama looking on approvingly. The monks are creating the mandala at Georgetown University as part of the school’s inaugural “Children of Abraham Arts Week,” an interfaith arts festival. They began work on Tuesday, and are scheduled to complete it for a community celebration this Saturday, after which the mandala will, as is tradition, be carefully unmade. EXIF.
