Kalachakra Mandala With BrocadeMandala means a circle. The Tibetan word for mandala is Kyilkhor, which means “center and surrounding environment .” In simple terms, it is a circle used as a visual aid for concentration and introversive meditation. Meditating using a mandala leads to the attainment of insights, and it helps to increase one’s concentration level. It also helps to activate forces within oneself which culminate into “Siddhi ” or supernatural forces. The mandala is the graphic representation of this process. It is theoretical and practical as an operational scheme involving a clear plan for practically realizing the process within oneself. It thus becomes an instrument ( Yantra ). It is believed that by looking at a mandala, one’s soul is spiritually purified. Thus, a mandala represents the palace of purity, a magic circle cleansed of spiritual obstacles and impurities. The square of the sacred palace is enclosed in multiple circles of flame, vajra, and lotus. These three circles forming the outer rims of the mandala symbolize enlightenment, which the meditating person must gain before he or she can enter the illuminated palace. The mandala then consists of the inner square where the deity of the mandala resides. The outermost circle, or the fire circle, is also known as the Fire of Wisdom. It consists of the purifying fire. The diamond circle, or the vajra circle, expresses strength and fearlessness, and finally, the lotus circle expresses the open state of devotion that is necessary to enter the palace. These three elements denote the state of mind that the follower or the person meditating must possess before practicing dharma. The name of the mandala is determined according to the deity residing in the center of the sacred palace. How does Thangka benefit us?Every detail of a painting has a symbolic meaning.
