Tibetan Mandalas FROM THE PUBLISHER
These are maps to understanding the entire universe--and the human soul! Every one of these Tibetan mandalas is rich in spiritual meaning, and the accompanying quotations and sayings will deepen your knowledge of this very special culture. Color in the Wheel of Becoming, a symbol of rebirth usually found in monasteries, or a transcendent Buddha Amitabha. The opened lotus represents the earth, purity, and the original unity of all things. Achieve wisdom with the four-armed Manjushi, an enlightened being who holds a sword, arrow, and bow. Standing at the center of the world, Mount Maru grew out of the ocean, long ago at the beginning of creation. Other mandalas include the Eight Symbols of Happiness; Sacrificial Offerings; Dorje the thunderbolt; and the national flag of Tibet.
