I am learning about mandalasHere are some mandalas made from nature

A mandala represents the universe in Buddhism and the Hindu religion.

The word ‘mandala’ means circle.

A mandala is usually a circular diagram symbolizing the universe. Mandalas originated in the 4th century as part of one of the world’s great religions, Buddhism. They were used in Tibet, India, Nepal, China and Japan among other countries. Now they are created throughout the world.

 Mandalas are believed to help people with meditation and are symbols of prayer.
