Mandala
A mandala, from the Sanskrit for circle, is a sacred diagram of Hindu and Buddhist tradition: a picture of the universe arranged around a centre. Monks use it as a map for meditation, moving in thought from the outer rings towards the middle. Today many people also draw or colour mandalas as a slow, focused practice.

Perguntas frequentes
What is the purpose of a mandala?
In Hindu and Buddhist practice it supports meditation and ritual: a map of the universe with a sacred centre. At home many people use it simply as a point of focus.
Why do monks destroy sand mandalas?
Sweeping away days of careful work is part of the teaching: everything that is made will change. The sand is often poured into flowing water.
Is colouring a mandala a form of meditation?
It is not the traditional practice, but slow, repetitive colouring keeps attention in one place, and many people find it restful at the end of a day.
Where should I hang a mandala?
Where you sit still: above a meditation cushion, beside a reading chair or in a hallway you pass often, at about eye level.
