Introduction to the Mandala Specialist blog

Welcome to the home of the Mandala.
You will find here some pictures from Mandalas we have made in Paris and Nantes in November 2006.. It has been a very interesting month and I have been extremely pleased with the amount of people that showed up and took an interest in what we were making.

These mandalas are dedicated to the benefit of all sentient beings. They are an expression of a complex universe, a map of our consciousness and the palace of a deity host...

At the end of making a mandala, we clear it away, to symbolise the impermanence of all things - even the beautiful has a beginning, a middle and an end.

If you want to read a little more about mandalas, have a look at the following links:

If you wish to find out more about having a mandala made in your local town hall, museum, temple or anywhere else that people can come and share in the experience, then please send me an email (you can find this in my profile).

Thank you for visiting!
