In Buddhism the mandala represents the nature of the pure land enlightened mind - used in support of the meditating person. The circle of life has been depicted in mandala-like forms by cultures throughout history from Aztec sun stones to Christian altars. The circle is also associated with eternity balance and perfection - the last one mainly because the distance from the circle's center to any point in its outline is the same. New age mandalas represent an organizational structure of life itself. A spiritual journey that is never ending and forever connected.</p>
