| The actual word 'Mandala' is Sanskrit for "circle". In many cultures the circle symbolizes positive connotations like balance, healing and peace. In Tibetan Buddhism the symbol mandala is used as a mental offering and a representation of the entire universe. It is the purest land you can imagine where there is no suffering and is full of peace, love, happiness and comfort. A universe you would want for all sentient beings. Focusing on a mandala is a simple, effective way of quieting thoughts and clearing your mind and is used in meditation.
