A Buddhist monk painstakingly creates a pattern in sand as he works on the Chenrezig Mandala, which symbolizes creation of the universe in a three-dimensional circular pattern. He gently scrapes an empty funnel held in his right hand along a sand-filled funnel in his left hand to carefully control how he places the sand. Monks created the mandala over several days in Simmons Hall.
