[Monks vocalizing]
[Monk explains meaning of Mandala]
[English Translation]: So out of those many types of Mandala all of them are equally kind of powerful enough
to open up yourself to evict yourself to the
instinct powers the true natures of us which
is you know the enlightened natures.
But the sand mandala believes to be one of
the best art, visual art you receive the blessings
of the the Mandala.
The sands that we use for the creations of
the mandala it comes from earth it's what
we call a marble.
Its grinded marble grinded sands and before
we take it from the earth we need to do some
rituals asking the permissions from the nature.
The blessing of the nature and invocations
of nature spirit and some kind of promising
and many things have to happen from the very
beginning point, and then we grind it with
ritual ceremonies and we bless the sands and
we put the colors.
The color it's a non toxic color.
We have to be careful with the color because
finally we have to release it to the oceans
to the water flows.
So make sure that these colors have non toxic
properties otherwise it will hurt many other
animals instead of becoming healing it becomes
toxic to them.
The sand has been blessed and before doing
the mandala we monks need to do a lot of retreat
and only when the monks are good enough to
visualize and to dissolutions of power into
it releasing the power into the circles and
making the Mandala blissful enough powerful
enough to heal others in the same way it heals
you and then only are we supposed to create the Mandala.
