This time lapse shows the creation of the extraordinary sand mandala created by the Tashi Kyil Tibetan monks over a period of four days. The mandala was created during opening weekend of National Geographic Sacred Journeys and is now on display in the exhibit. It will later be dismantled and released in accordance with tradition. This peace sand mandala is drawn on a mythical earth and features important images—in the center are the Four Perfect Friends. Around this image are displayed the Eight Auspicious Symbols. Along the edge, symbols of World Peace are created to suit the individual place where the mandala is created. Surrounding the mandala are the traditional waves of a mythical ocean.
