This painting is exquisite. I was in awe when I opened the box. The images definitely don't do justice to how beautiful it is. The skill, artistry and detail is superb.

Buddha Mandala Thangka Painting:
In Tibetan Buddhist practice, mandalas represent the pure and sacred space consecrated by the power of a buddha or other deity. Through concentrated meditation on the mandala, a monk learns information about the deity that is conveyed in the art. Beyond this, he strives to “enter” the mandala, not only invoking the qualities of the deity, but internalizing them himself. A mandala is a representation of the cosmic, the universe, in a circular pattern which leads to a central point. As such, it is a symbol or wholeness, of beginning and end.
The mandala is used as an external expression to help find the universe within. Often, the mandala incorporates symbols or physical representations of the Buddha to show the transition of the spiritual journey. It’s conferred based on the symbolic mandala world in which the Buddha-figure, or a set of Buddha-figures lives – that’s the mandala of Shakyamuni Buddha. It’s their world that they live in, and it’s conferred on the basis of a representation of that world.
