A mandala is a system that maps mind and consciousness like a psychological diagram. 
All of our experiences are part of our own personal mandala, or web of our own consciousness.
The word mandala derives from the Tibetan word kyilkhor, kyil meaning "center" and khor meaning "fringe."</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.serajeyngari.org/lecturetours.htm"><div align="center"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.serajeyngari.org/img/45FCD81A-AF5F-4E19-B6BB-BB210A226F8D" alt="The Making of a Sand Mandala" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.serajeyngari.org/lecturetours.htm">It is a group or collection of something that is interlinked from the center out to the fringe</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.serajeyngari.org/lecturetours.htm">
