the computer was teaching you not to be attached to it just like the sand art. so your computer downloaded viruses and taught you a lesson technically.
I lost my computer files to a Formatting earlier. I decided to just take a breath and simply not be upset because there is nothing I can do. Yes I did try format restore software, didn't work
I disagree. In order to do anything well one has to care about it. I think the lesson here is in reminding us to accept that nothing is permanent. This shouldn't stop one from becoming emotionally attached to it, it's just about being strong enough, and recognising when it's time to let go.
Notice they have a method of deconstructing it. The immaterial is just as important as the material. Life make way for death, death make way for life. Impermanence is the cosmos, aka the only constant is change.The beautiful picture is still there, just piled up then scattered to the winds.
My friends and I started doodling on this wooden bench at our school. Eventually it became a giant mural of random doodles we drew and even some from our underclass men friends drew a little on it too. We wanted this bench to basically be the mark we left on the school and we even wrote our signatures on it. But eventually the principal caught me doodling on the bench and was skeptical at first but was willing to accept the artwork as part of the school, but then he started looking at our drawings more and more and became paranoid that one of these doodles could be seen as a hate or racist symbol to higher ups or future students. Afterwards he basically threatened to paint over the bench or sand it down if we don’t do something about it. Keep in mind all of our drawings were done in sharpie. I don’t what’s gonna happen to our bench since this only happened a couple hours ago, but this reminded me of the sand paintings the monks make. Hopefully the bench will stay but it seems unlikely and I’ll be left with only a melancholic memory of me and my friends creative minds.
@@birdlynn417 when they are doing the art. i think the art is supposed to look good then get destroyed. So...when they sneeze while doing the art the arms could possibly move on accident and ruin the art.
@@emegrande it’s not about the art and looking good,( not the look gives it “value”, the time and patience spent on it does) this whole process its a metaphoric one
It would be super funny but in actuality I think their head are far enough away to where the blow wouldn't affect it and I think the tools they're using use the vibrations from the stick rubbing
I gained 17 legitimate Shiny Pokémon over the course of 6 years. I'm a disabled US Marine Veteran. I lost all my Shiny Pokémon somehow. Wtf did they go? Was about 3 months ago I realized it. This video has helped me to get over it better. Thank you for the upload.
This has to feel cathartic on some level. I feel like in a way this piece wasn't completely destroyed though, because we all get to enjoy it here (thankfully). However, I would imagine this case is an exception in the name of SCIENCE!
When you go deeeeep into quantum chromodynamics in context with variants of quantum gravity, youll find networks the geometries like this, protons fermions, bosons and unkiwn hyperdimensional fermions that define entaglement pathways are actually defined by 3 dimensional projections that resemble geometry like this. Physics is the study of the divine
*behind scenes untold footage: they separate every single coloured grain into a separate cup again, just for fun/ Sorry I made it up... but... do they really waste all that beautiful coloured sand afterwards? I doubt it/
I know this is an ancient ancient belief system that many people have adopted today but FOR ME I can only partially agree. I'm not a follower of everything I hear. Having a Libra moon and a Scorpio mind means I am a natural detective and a scholar who questions everything. LOL Meaning, I'm not the kind of person who takes what people say as truth without scrutinizing everything they say first. My Case and Point is this: While I agree with the monks that we should not hold onto most things of this world tightly such as material possessions, negative experiences and our lives. I don't agree that we should just blow away everything so easily like the incredible beautiful sand arts they create. I believe that we should embrace all good things we create. I feel to be able to create such beautiful divine work is an express of a divine soul and should be cherished and shared with all. If it was negative and created with negative energy then destroy it. But since it was created with a pure heart it should be cherished, saved and put in a museum for all generations to see and appreciate the skill and artistry to make such a divine work. This will create positive vibes and karma for all of mankind. When it's so easily destroyed how can anyone appreciate the divine gift to create it? I feel if a person is going to create something that they know they are going to destroy then create something ugly representing bad karma. Destroy bad karma and not good. Don't create something divine and then destroy it as if it was nothing. Keep the positive creative artworks in your life to keep you and everyone who sees them inspired and uplifted. Tell the story behind the story of how it came to be. Talk about the time and work it took to complete in a positive energy to inspire all who listen. This is uplifting the positive vibration and karma of all. But if you destroy it then you don't have anything positive to build on. Godly wisdom: No we should hold so tightly on our lives as God gives and he takes away. This is precisely what the book of Job teaches God's children. We are not these bodies we are in. Our souls are immortal meaning we never die. Only the body. People have to be willing to open their mind to embrace this higher level of spiritual consciousness.
I like it. Personally I see it as you can't give someone something, it's better to teach a person to build your own mendela , than to give it to something
While most art is open to interpretation, the meaning is pretty explicit here because it's a core part of Buddhist philosophy. Doing this is basically a way for monks to flex on how unattached they are to things. "the perversion of permanence" is one of the four perversions/delusions that all suffering is said to stem from in Buddhism.
As child, when I first heard of this practice, I felt so bad and a little angry. "They put so much work into it, that'd cruel!" As an adult, this is a valuable lesson that can be taught with sand as a gentle teacher, I carry it in my heart.
You feel wrong. The western mindset of duality prevents us from understanding the non-judgmental acceptance of reality that is the bedrock of Buddhism. The essence of Buddhism is meditation. The essence of meditation is awareness. That clear , pure consciousness, which is just aware of the phenomenon occurring.....without labeling, without criticizing, without rationalizng.
Nihilism is not even similar. In fact, that ritual is even in very serious oposition to nihilism ( look at entire ritual, not just ending ). It looks like memento mori in christianity.
The sand is swept up to remind themselves of impermanence - because only if you are truly aware of your own impermanence can you live pure happiness in the present moment. Not at all like nihilism.

This makes me hate those monks as saying never get attached to a person is like saying to never love your family. Saying Never get attached to something is like saying never cherish something.
No they dont mean it in THAT way they mean like not with your family, like with a pet or something else because you can love it but not TOO emotionally attached because in the end, they'll die,and you would miss them your whole life (this is what I think, no need to agree)
I lost 3 beloved relatives in 4 years.... I was sad because I had a bond with them ... but I wasn't stuck in the sadness for so long because I always knew everyone would die. Death is a natural thing .. and don't be too attached to life. It made me normalize quickly after losing my loved one.They don't teach not to feel.They teach to understand the feelings and nature of the world.
