Mandalas


The word, "Mandala" comes from a sanskrit word that means "circle". A part of Tibetan art, Mandalas are geometrical forms of sacred art created in Tantric Buddhism. Each mandala represents a sacred space, and a pure expression of a particular Buddha's enlightenment.

The construction of a Mandala is ritual, constructed from the center outward, beginning with a dot in the center.
