Kalachakra Mandala, Wheel of Time Mandala 100*100 CM

Kalachakra Mandala is a Sanskrit word for “wheel of time”. The mandala of Kalachakra is an aerial view of the Kalachakra temple, situated in Lhasa and contains 722 Deities, and at its heart on a Lotus flower, a single Buddha: Kalachakra. It is a 5-level structure, each level is represented by a square, and each square is set within the others. In the mandala, there are six circles of elements: wisdom, space, wind, fire, water and earth. Then we get to different entrances of the body, speech and mind. Through meditation on the Kalachakra mandala, monks invoke the qualities of the deity, striving in a ritualized way to enter the mandala and become the deity themselves. This practice is not usually public and mostly occurs behind temple walls.
