What is a mandala?
Consider how complex feelings show up in your everyday life and imagine how you might have the power to transform them. Mandalas are Buddhist teaching tools that can be used to learn how to confront and transform feelings of pride, attachment, envy, and anger. In Buddhism, these emotions are said to cloud our understanding of the world.
Let’s explore these emotions together!
