A Toddler's Dance On Tibetan Art

Eight Tibetan monks spent two days crosslegged on the floor at Union Station, leaning over to meticulously create an intricate colored sand design as an expression of their Buddhist faith. And then, within seconds, their work was destroyed by a toddler.

The child, apparently attracted by the pretty colors, wandered over to play with it. "He did a little tap dance on it, completely destroying it," said Lama Chuck Stanford of the Rime center.
