Anitya
This tradition teaches monks ‘Anitya’ -the art of De-attachment, as they believe that the main reason behind all the miseries of human lives is attachment.
Attachment with both tangible and intangible possessions and hence the creator of mandala destroys the masterpiece with own hands which was created with so much efforts. It also teaches them about impermanence of our existence which implies not to become engrossed in too much of self and materialistic gains. It instils a selfless nature within them which in turn provides an urge to serve humanity.
