The宮張曼荼羅 (Mandala)
The 宮張曼荼羅 (Mandala) is a detailed, symbolic design used in Buddhist practice to represent the universe and spiritual realms. Often visualized as a complex, circular diagram, it features geometric patterns, deities, and symbolic elements arranged symmetrically around a central point. Mandalas serve as meditation tools, helping practitioners focus, visualize spiritual teachings, and facilitate inner harmony. They embody the interconnectedness of cosmic and personal spiritual journeys, acting as a map to enlightenment. The intricate artistry also reflects the universe’s profound complexity, making the Mandala both a sacred image and a meditative aid.
