Synopsis

This text is part of the "Sacred Symbols" series. Each work in the series focuses on a different culture or belief system to provide through an interpretation of their signs and symbols a look into the ancient universal wisdoms of mankind. The Mandala is one of the great symbols of human experience. Its concentric structure suggests the passage from state to state, from the material to the spiritual; its centre is eternity, its periphery is perfection. From Tantric belief and medieval Christianity to 20th-century psychology, this guide demonstrates the relevance of this complex art form in today's society, revealing its secrets, emblem of the cosmos, image of God and aid to meditation and inner peace.
