About Sand Mandalas
“Mandala” is a Sanskrit word, meaning “world in harmony.” A Tibetan mandala is a sand-painting and an ancient form of art in Tibetan Buddhism.
There are many different mandalas, each one showing different lessons and blessings.
The Medicine Buddha Mandala recognizes the common goal of compassion among all spiritual traditions and philosophies in the response to suffering.
