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 put in contact with qualities of peace and harmony. A Mandala can also be used to call up a certain type of energy and as a tool for an inner journey.
The Mandala represents the palace of divinity, the place where divinity manifests itself in her quality, in this case of compassion.
We can visualize it in three dimensions.
The three external circles, of fire, vajra and petals protect the interior, the palace with its four gates in the direction of the cardinal points.
In the center are represented all the symbols that identify particular Buddhas and divinities, in particular the eight Medicine Buddhas.
