This crazy story went down when a group of Tibetan Monks were creating a sand mandala in Union Station in Kansas City. If you’re not familiar with a sand mandala, it is where Tibetan monks place individual colored grains of sand on a flat surface and create intricate designs. The process usually takes days or even weeks to complete.
The piece had taken two days up until a toddler got away from his mother and did a little dance on their art, destroying it. But, in true Buddhist monk fashion, the monks just laughed it off and went back to work repairing the damage. That’s it you guys, I’m buying a red robe and shaving my head.
