50 Diamond Mandalas PDF Download

50 MANDALAS A mandala is a geometric configuration of symbols. In various spiritual traditions, mandalas may be employed for focusing the attention of practitioners and adepts, as a spiritual guidance tool, for establishing a sacred space, and as an aid to meditation and trance induction. In the Eastern religions of Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Shintoism it is used as a map representing deities, or especially in the case of Shintoism, paradises, kami, or actual shrines. A mandala generally represents the spiritual journey, starting from outside to the inner core, through layers. In a spiritual or religious process, a mandala is a period of approximately 40 days in which time the human system completes one physiological cycle. In the Hindu and Buddhist traditions, mandalas are an object of meditation to aid in one's spiritual development. The imagery depicts the universe and the symbols represent one's spiritual journey, the cycles of birth-life-death, and the interconnectedness of all living things. The Hindu tradition focuses on the realization of the self as one with the divine. Whereas in the Buddhist tradition, the emphasis is on the potential for enlightenment (Buddha-nature) and the pictures within the mandalas illustrate the obstacles that one has to overcome in order to cultivate compassion and wisdom.
