I am still hanging in here and thought I would put up a swap. First off....What is a Mandala? Mandala is a spiritual and ritual symbol in Hinduism and Buddhism, representing the Universe. The basic form of most mandalas is a square with four gates containing a circle with a center point. Each gate is in the general shape of a T. Mandalas often exhibit radial balance. The term is of Hindu origin. It appears in the Rig Veda as the name of the sections of the work, but is also used in other Indian religions, particularly Buddhism. In various spiritual traditions, mandalas may be employed for focusing attention as a spiritual teaching tool, for establishing a sacred space, and as an aid to meditation and trance induction. Now the swap. You may print and colour your mandala from the internet and then create your ATC using this Mandala OR you can print a coloured image of a Mandala to use on your ATC. Don't just glue on a Mandala and call it done. Add some creative flair, embellishments etc........ Let's see how this one goes.... Who is up for a challenge? |
