    Sages seldom give advice.  They are like the Elves i the Lord of the Rings:  Do not go to the elves for advice for they will say both 'yes' and 'no'.  

    Since we are co-creators of our path, it is hard to know which way to turn when we are on the path of knowledge.  Unless you are a Master,  you are going to make tons of mistakes.  And when you achieve enlightenment of any kind, you tend to keep silent because you realize the error of trying to control any outcome.

In reality, Tibetan Buddhist monks have been creating sand mandalas (mandala means “circle” in Sanskrit) for more than 2,500 years. The process remains one of the religion’s most distinctive and beautiful traditions.
