Image, Mandala: Spiritual Experience of Tibet
The word “mandala” is Sanskrit for “circle.” Created by hand, mandalas embody traditional meditative designs that represent the universal qualities of harmony, balance and community. Tibetans have long believed that to witness the creation of a mandala is to cultivate these enduring qualities within each of us, and so to witness the creation of a mandala is to lay the foundation for a strong and balanced human community. (from press release about Mandala at the University of Arkansas).
