What is a mandala?

A mandala is a spiritual symbol in Buddhism and Hinduism. It is a symbolic representation of the universe with an inner world and an outer world. The word mandala comes from Sanskrit. Literally, mandala means "circle". The circle is considered a magical shape, without beginning or end, just as the universe has no end.

In tantric traditions, it often refers to a sacred space, which can be round or square or any other shape. The deities are invited to enter this space by reciting mantras.

Mandalas are considered sacred places that remind us of the presence of holiness in the universe and their own potential. In the context of Buddhism, the purpose of a mandala is to end human suffering, attain enlightenment and achieve a correct view of Reality. It is a way to experience divinity by realizing that it resides within one's own self.

Mandalas are known as a Buddhist symbol and are a popular practice in Tibetan monasteries. However, their history is more diverse than that.

Finally, Native American tribes also use mandalas to pray for blessings and protection from their gods, and to symbolize their connection to the universe.
