Mandala of five elements

It is said that seeing a Mandala changes the imprint in our mind: a Mandala is a representation of the Buddha’s mind, therefore of our enlightened mind.
The image of the Mandala is able to spread and connect with qualities of peace and harmony.

The Mandala of the five elements represents the elements (space, fire, water, earth and air) connected to the five families of Buddhas (Vairochana, Amitabha, Akshobya, Ratnasambhava and Amogasiddhi) and connected to the five colors (white, red, blue, yellow and green).
Colour also influences and reflects our mind
The two triangles in the centre represent the male (pointing upwards) and female (pointing downwards) union and the creation of a new life.

This Mandala is a replica of a 16th century thangka that worked with the Ayurvedic tradition to balance energies.
These colors in the Mandala represent the experience of our existence and have a healing power.
