Mandalas are both designs with intricate geometry and spiritual representations of the cosmic order.
In Tibetan, “mandala” is known as *kyil-khor*—a combination of words that some translate as “center-periphery.”
In Tibetan Buddhism, this realm with indistinct boundaries represents the beginning and the end of all that exists.
Organized around the four cardinal points, a mandala is a map of the concentric organization of the universe.
Rich in symbols, it is also the landscape of our deepest nature.
In Buddhist culture, these ephemeral works created with colored sand had no other purpose than the practice of meditation.
Their creation, a long and complex process, fostered the concentration required for this inner journey.
While contemplating a mandala, a meditator seeks to create mental images of the Buddha and bodhisattvas.
The mandala leads him toward his center, on the path to awakening.
