The pattern of creation The word "mandala" is from the classical Indian language of Sanskrit. Loosely translated to mean "circle," a mandala is far more than a simple shape. It represents wholeness, and can be seen as a model for the organizational structure of life itself--a cosmic diagram that reminds us of our relation to the infinite, the world that extends both beyond and within our bodies and minds. Describing both material and non-material realities, the mandala appears in all aspects of life: the celestial circles we call earth, sun, and moon, as well as conceptual circles of friends, family, and community. "The integrated view of the world represented by the mandala, while long embraced by some Eastern religions, has now begun to emerge in Western religious and secular cultures. Awareness of the mandala may have the potential of changing how we see ourselves, our planet, and perhaps even our own life purpose." www.mandalas.com/CircleMandalasGallery/PurpleMagMCircle.phpjust posed this here thought no one did it before try to gaze at it and ull see it is like a meditation so lots of love and light Domen

Greetings!
I love mandalas, became intrigued by them through some reading material by Carl Jung and another writer (forgot her name/it's French). Can you recommend any books on Mandalas? Which one do you like best and why. Reason I'm asking is because I'd like to buy some. Thanks Domen, I really appreciate your opinion.
Many blessings to you, Damemantis
