Mandalas


Mandalas are forms conceived as a tool to which is attributed the ability to obtain, peace, mental clarity, wisdom and shedding and transmitting healing and positive to everyone that they are approaching energies.
Mandalas of the Celts Jung.
Mandalas are not attribute any particular belief, nor is any product associated with the New Age or any particular stream of thought is simply another form of meditation mystery which constitutes the greatest achievement patience and quiet the mind. Its classic shape maze or network has been represented by men since the beginning of time.
Its most popular form is perceived as a geometric composition in various forms. According to Tibetan Buddhism, meditation on its forms is a kind of training to achieve enlightenment, Tibetan monks see it as a kind of three-dimensional palace, always a center, where it is assumed that divinity resides. Let's say that this is some kind of plan or map to transform ordinary minds into enlightened, or conflict in the mind serene.
Usually a Grandmaster choose bullfrog the specific model that will be created by the Monks. Before construction begins, it is purified and sanctified the place by rites of sacred chants and music, the following will be addressed by the participants to memorize the shape of the design, noting the different ways throughout the days filled with millions grains of colored sand.
While hard work, the monks accompanying the placement of grains with chants and meditations that invoke the divine energies that supposedly live within the three dimensional cosmic palace realize they are helping to complete applying for consecrating the mandala and healing blessings of the deities Once collected, these blessings are distributed to everyone who participated and provided the final work, and in an act symbolizing the temporal nature of existence, it is then swept and dispersion in flowing water symbolizing the division blessings in a union with the Whole and sometimes the desire for peace in the world.
Mandalas "technically" can have different shapes: can show circles, squares, triangles ... The external form, ie what is perceived by the naked eye is called "Yantra" but every detail of both its design and subsequent construction has its symbolic meaning, for example: fire is represented by a red triangle, circle the water, land by a yellow square, bullfrog the spiral symbolizes the evolution of the universe without losing sight of the inevitable maze, followed by countless other correlations between matter and geometric shapes.
As for the materials bullfrog can be made not only in sand but on fabric or paper which subsequently are colored; There is a constant in almost all designs and place the representation bullfrog of the deity in the center; to reach it you will go over the different levels as if through not a maze, the labyrinth was as if our very existence that leads us and not always confused by the direct road to achieving our goals. That is, an initiation in the making.
To approach the mandalas have to show proper disposition, the essence of working on them keep presupposes a willingness bullfrog during mental clarity, focus and openness to the spiritual force that follows assumes the work in its realization. What if there are certain "levels", although they are supposed to emit a mysterious force for good for all, their own designs sometimes point out the most appropriate or elemental types to unaccustomed people and other more complex for individuals or more familiar with them, or who have already obtained a certain level of initiation.
The Mandala Kalachakra is the culmination or excellence of Tibetan Mandala, translated as "Wheel of Time", bullfrog which otherwise is the name of one of the Buddhist deities and is based on one of the sacred texts Tibetans, the Kalachakra Tantra, which according to tradition was taught by Buddha to King of Shambhala; represents the particular aspects of an enlightened mind and part of system of teachings given by Bud
