A Universal Mandala thangka painting is a symbolic representation of the cosmos and the interconnectedness of all phenomena. Unlike specific mandalas associated with particular Buddhist deities or teachings, the Universal Mandala encompasses the entirety of existence and represents the underlying unity of all things. In a Universal Mandala thangka painting, the central focus is often a large circle or square, symbolizing the universe or the totality of reality. The painting may be divided into different sections, each representing various realms, dimensions, or aspects of existence. These sections may be arranged in a symmetrical or geometric pattern, reflecting the harmonious and balanced nature of the universe. The Universal Mandala thangka painting incorporates a wide array of symbols, deities, elements, and geometric patterns to depict the interconnectedness of the macrocosm and the microcosm. It may include representations of celestial bodies, elemental forces, sacred texts, mantras, and auspicious symbols. Each element within the mandala holds its own symbolic significance, contributing to the overall message of unity, interdependence, and harmony. The purpose of a Universal Mandala thangka painting is to inspire contemplation, meditation, and a deep understanding of the interconnected nature of reality. It serves as a visual aid for practitioners to cultivate a sense of unity and interconnectedness with all beings and phenomena. By engaging with the painting, practitioners are invited to transcend dualistic perceptions and recognize the underlying unity and interdependence of all things. mandala-universal-mandala
