Introduction To Mantra Mandala :
Mantras belong to the Buddhist classification of dharani. It is a collection of syllables recited to benefit oneself and all sentient beings. The meaning of the mantra is ‘man’ mind, ‘tra’ to protect - to protect the mind. Mantras are verbal formulas used by Buddhists to protect the mind from distraction and unwholesomeness.
Mantras can also be considered wisdom, protective, healing, and memory enhancing. For healing and mental health issues, mantras can also be edible. Written on rice paper or extremely thin edible Tibetan paper with consumable dye or ink, the mantras are often created with woodblock print stamps or handwritten.
A mandala depicts in two-dimensional form the three-dimensional space inhabited by the deity. The bird’s-eye-view centralizes the main deity within concentric squares, circles, and borders of his associated lineage and related figures, arranged in order of importance.
