Mandala: A symbolic representation of cosmic
forces in two or three-dimensional form. . . synthesis of numerous distinctive
elements in a unified scheme, which through meditation can be recognized
as the basic nature of existence. The meaning of mandala in Tibetan Buddhism
can be derived from the Tibetan translation of the Sanskrit word by dkyilkhor,
which roughly means "center and periphery." - Shambala Dictionary
of Buddhism and Zen
The mandala symbol can be found in just about every culture. Carl Jung,
in his book "Dreams," explains this phenomenon with a theory
that the symbol is a manifestation of the inherent psychological structure
of man. In Yogic traditions the mandala is a symbol of both the universe
and the inner universe of the human body. In the never ending quest of
humans to self understanding, the mandala is an expression of one's inner
self. Through meditation this inner knowledge is reintegration by one's
cognitive self.
Here at Mandala Studio we believe music in it's purest form serves the same purpose of expression
and reintegration.
