I was convinced this was going to happen.

We have a decent sized Buddhist community here and they often create these sand mandalas coordinated with prayers for various themes, people, etc. It's a beautiful thing to see in person and can be pretty emotional when they hold the dissolution ceremony (as said, meant to represent a large theme in Buddhism of non-attachment). I didn't get to see the dissolution ceremony of the one they made here when the Dalai Lama visited but I got to see it's creation.

It really is incredible and I thought it was a very interesting theme in the episode when you see the dissolution ceremony juxtapositioned with Claire and Frank renewing their vows.
