Mandala is a circle which is a device for the tantric meditation. The mandala is a graphic representation of this process. It is not only theoretical but practical also an operational scheme involving a clear plan for practical realization of the process within oneself. The visualization and concretisation of the mandala concept is one of the most significant contributions of Buddhism to religious psychology. Mandalas are seen as sacred places which, by their very presence in the world, remind a viewer of the immanence of sanctity in the universe and its potential in himself. In the context of the Buddhist path the purpose of a mandala is to put an end to human suffering, to attain enlightenment and to attain a correct view of Reality. It is a means to discover divinity by the realization that it resides within one’s own self.
