A Thangka is a traditional Tibetan Buddhist painting on cotton or silk, typically depicting deities, spiritual figures, and symbolic scenes. Thangkas often feature intricate details and vibrant colors. They are used for meditation, teaching, and devotional purposes.
The term mandala describes a basic pattern of geometric shapes contained within a circle that has immense spiritual potency as a representation of the metaphysical cosmos. This sounds very complex, and it is, so there are many different kinds of mandalas that deal with different sets of symbolism. Here are a few of the basic symbolic elements that define many mandalas.
In Buddhism, the center is seen as enlightenment or sometimes the essence of the enlightened Buddha. Again, each layer of shapes within the mandala represents a part of the journey, including meditation and rituals. The fact that layers are contained within each other represents the idea that the journey and the arrival are still connected in a synthetic whole. Take a minute to wrap your head around that.
