on sale! $80.06
A work of spiritual artistry, this mandala painting invokes the teachings of Buddha. Each item symbolizes an aspect of wisdom or a guiding principle according to Buddha's teachings. N.K. Soni's design is a unique version, featuring four images of the Great Teacher surrounding the mandala. Painting with watercolors on a cotton cloth, Soni details each symbol with meticulous care to ensure the clarity preached by the Buddhist faith. Mandala is Sanskrit for "circle," "polygon," "community," and "connection." According to the precepts of Tibetan Buddhism, a mandala is an imaginary palace that is envisioned during meditation. As such, the person must pass the outer circles which symbolize the purifying fire of wisdom; the vajra circle (strength and fearlessness); the circle with the eight tombs (the stages of consciousness) and the lotus circle (expresses an open state of devotion). Buddha resides in the center, in symbolic form for meditation. Mandalas are traditionally used during tantric initiation rites; they are usually crafted at the beginning of the ceremony with colored sands especially prepared on a platform. Arrives unframed. |
