New Jersey Tot Wipes out Hours of Monks' Work
A New Jersey tot has made his inadvertent mark on an intricate sand display created by Buddhist monks.
The monks have been building a sand mandala in Jersey City's municipal building since Monday. It's a flat, multicolored display that is created and then destroyed in a ceremony meant to symbolize the fleeting nature of life.
The Jersey Journal (http://bit.ly/1feKs6a ) reports the young boy climbed over a rope barrier Friday and got onto the 4-foot-square display. The sides and middle were smudged as a result.
Some of the monks began working to restore the sand Friday before its ritual destruction.
