OM Mantra Mandala Thangka Art | For Calmness, Peace and Tranquility

In this mandala the inscriptions inside are a mantra in Tibetan, or a repeated prayer, in order to support the symbol in the center, which gives meaning to the Mandala. This mantra is probably the most famous and used in Tibetan Buddhism, and if pronounced repeatedly it has a beneficial effect in the psyche and mind. OM Mantra Mandala is meditative art so they are useful in meditation. They are also words or phrases that are chanted out loud or internally as objects of meditation. Often these mantras are associated with particular Buddhist figures whose qualities can be cultivated by the repetition of the relevant mantra. Mantras and Mandalas are two side of one coin. Mantras are sacred texts and mandalas are sacred pictures.

Without mantras mandala looks incomplete. Mantra helps mandalas to be more meaningful and mandala helps us to be focused. Standard descriptions of mandalas and mantras show a relationship between their use and pagan gods or supernatural cosmic forces.
