Buddhist Monks and Sand Mandala
Buddhist monks gather round a mandala (Sanskrit for circle) composed of grains of colored sand. A mandala, a symbol of impermanence, is dispersed after its construction, usually in a body of running water, like a river. The mandala in Buddhism represents an end to human suffering and attainment of enlightenment. (Photo by Pierre Perrin/Sygma via Getty Images)
