It's an excellent demonstration of their non-attachment if they weren't bothered by the toddler dancing on their partilally completed sand mandala. Practically a koan.
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Go Teddy!

I think Buddhists wouldn't mind a child being so delighted by the beauty of it that he was inspired to dance with the mandala.
