Mandala means circle or wheel in the old language Sanskrit. We can find mandala's in many cultures and in the many shapes that surround us in nature. Lots of sacred art originating from Hinduism and Buddhism is in the shape of a mandala.
Tibetan Buddhism knows the so called sand mandala's. Initially the mandala was used here as an aid for meditation purposes and to picture the chakra's (energy centers in the human body) or the universe for instance. Mandala's can help with focusing attention.
However we find comparable shapes like rose windows and labyrinths in Christianity, Celtic crosses and also medicine wheels in Native American tribes.
