mandala is a sacred design used in meditation by Buddhists

Circles are all around us. Think of the circles you see every day -- the sun, a wheel, a doughnut.A circle is one of the basic shapes in Buddhist art. Mandala is a Sanskrit word meaning circle. A mandala is a sacred design used in meditation by Buddhists. Mandala coloring pages can be made on a paper or cloth.

Meditation is a deep state of concentration in which a person clears his or her mind of all distracting thoughts. Mandalas, which help people focus their thoughts, can be both two- and three-dimensional.

Mandalas, mentioned in the art and prayer story on this page, came to America though through Eastern religions, especially Hindu, Buddhist and Jainist rituals. Mandala is a Sanskrit word for "circle." It is an elaborate design full of geometry and symbolism. It is usually two-dimensional and can have many shapes. Concentric squares and circles are the most common. Square mandalas often decorate Hindu temples.

Coloring Sand Mandalas 

Four Buddhist monks are spending this week, bodies folded over a massive disc of wood, meticulously dribbling colored sand designs to form a mandala -- which they'll destroy shortly after it's created. This is a mandala of compassion, explained Tibetan Tashi Dhondup, one of the four visiting monks. Dhondup spoke about the project Monday as he used an instrument called a chakpu on the design under way at the Urban Institute for Contemporary Arts.
