Introduction To Mandala :
Mandalas signify the clean and sacred place sanctified by the might of a buddha or other god in Tibetan Buddhist meditation. A monk learns about the god depicted in the art via prolonged meditation on the mandala. Beyond that, he seeks to "enter" the mandala, not merely summoning but also internalizing the deity's characteristics. A mandala is a circular design that represents the cosmos, and the universe, and leads to a focal point. As such, it represents completeness, beginning, and end.
