Traditional Mandala Set, Tibetan Buddhist Altar
The three rings in the traditional mandala set are built up with rice, scattered with precious stones where possible. The summit represents Mount Meru, the mythical center of the universe. Each layer is filled with offerings until the multi-layered mandala is filled with coins, beads, jewels, or rice. The ‘universe’ is then offered over the head to show you would give the entirety of existence to help others attain enlightenment. Used by practicing Tibetan Buddhists as part of the daily preliminaries to meditation, the mandala represents the naturally balanced nature of the outer world and the inner mind.
They are appreciated as artwork for their elegance and naturally balanced nature of the outer world and the inner mind. This Mandala Set is made of copper, silver and gold and is delightfully hand-carved with lovely Ashthamangala carvings.
