Gold Style Mandala Introduction to ThangkaIn Tibetan Buddhist practice, mandalas represent the pure and sacred space consecrated by the power of a buddha or other deity. Through concentrated meditation on the mandala, a monk learns information about the deity that is conveyed in the art. Beyond this, he strives to “enter” the mandala, not only invoking the qualities of the deity, but internalizing them himself. A mandala is a representation of the cosmic, the universe, in a circular pattern that leads to a central point. As such, it is a symbol or wholeness, of beginning and end.------------------------------------------------------------------Size: 30"/ 76 cm (width) x 30"/ 76 cm (height)Materials: Cotton Canvas, Acrylic Colors, Genuine 24K Gold------------------------------------------------------------------THIS THANGKA IS HAND-PAINTED IN THE TRADITIONAL STYLE AND THE QUALITY IS HIGH------------------------------------------------------------------ How does Thangka benefit us?It goes without saying that every detail of a painting has a symbolic meaning.
