Hand-Painted Kalachakra Mandala
Introduction To The Thangka :
The Kalachakra Mandala is a sacred and intricate Tibetan Buddhism that represents the Kalachakra Tantra, teaching about cosmology, astrology, meditation, and the way to enlightenment. The mandala is a symbolic representation of the universe, which includes time, space, and consciousness. It consists of concentric circles and squares, each with elaborate geometric designs and deities. The mandala is divided into portions that reflect various aspects of the teachings, including the outer, inner, and alternative mandalas, the five elements, the eight spokes of the Dharma wheel, and other deep symbols. The outermost layer consists of gates, walls, or castles, reflecting the outside world and the cycle of birth, death, and rebirth. As one progresses inward, the mandala becomes increasingly intricate, symbolizing deeper layers of the mind and the path to enlightenment. The Kalachakra Mandala is used as a visual aid in meditation, ritual, and initiation ceremonies, and is revered as a powerful symbol of the interconnectedness of all phenomena and the potential for enlightenment within the cyclic nature of existence.
