Buddhist Mandalas: 26 Inspiring Designs for Colouring and Meditation

Description

The Buddhist Mandalas colouring book combines Buddhist wisdom with the power of mandalas - geometric designs that have been used for centuries, particularly in the East, to calm and focus the mind. While mandalas are traditionally considered to be highly complex maps of the cosmos, the beautiful examples included in this book are designed to be suitable for today's Western practitioner, incorporating the most accessible and relevant Buddhist symbols and imagery. With 32 brilliant mandalas rendered as line illustrations, the act of colouring and contemplating these harmonious images is a powerful way to engage in visually based meditation. A directory of Buddhist symbols, with colour images, completes the book.
