The Mandala
For Tibetan Buddhists, the mandala represents a
magical and sacred realm created by enlightened artists that symbolize the
perfected environment of the Buddha. Could an art class have similar rituals or
rules designed to move students toward artistry or enlightenment?
Paradoxically, the projects with the most rules can create the deepest
satisfaction for student.
Mandala refers to a sphere of nurturing, a magical and
sacred realm created in order to nurture development toward enlightenment. The
mandala is a pictorial representation of the tantra. Tantra means continuity, or way of life according to the
teaching. A mandala can be viewed as a visualization of an inner psychological
or spiritual reality or as the human body itself. The mandala teaches us to
have an understanding heart, in a way it is a self portrait.
