Scope and Contents
This thangka is a buddha mandala. It is an intricate design with one large circle in the center and four smaller circles in each corner. It symbolizes the universe and gives the viewer a sense of belonging and connection. A mandala symbolizes the universe in its ideal form, and its creation signifies the transformation of a universe of suffering into one of joy. It can also be used as an aid to meditation, helping the meditator to envision how to... achieve the perfect self. The meaning of a mandala varies, though it's typically considered a symbol of balance, eternity, and perfection.
