Original Hand painted Mandala Thangka of Buddha and Bodhisattvas
In Tibetan Buddhist practice, mandalas represent the pure and sacred space consecrated by the power of a Buddha or other deity. Through concentrated meditation on the mandala, a monk learns information about the deity that is conveyed in the art. Beyond this, he strives to “enter” the mandala, not only invoking the qualities of the deity, but internalizing them himself.
A mandala is a representation of the cosmic, the universe, in a circular pattern which leads to a central point. As such, it is a symbol or wholeness, of beginning and end. There are many types and varieties of Mandalas depending on the nature of the central deity.
The most classic pattern of Mandalas is of the Dhyani Buddha. This Thangka depicts Buddha Mandala. The Mandala represents the “palace of purity” a magic sphere cleared of spiritual obstacles and unpurified. The square of the “Sacred palace” proper is end-users in multiple circles of flame, Vajra, eight centuries (appears only in wrathful deities) lotus, then the inner square to reach the deity of the Mandala.
