MADALAS
A mandala is an ancient Sanskrit concept.
An image, a pattern, a design within a circle.
A self-contained world.
A visual meditation.
A way to the center of the self.
Sometimes a mandala is a square.
Or one inside the other.
A way to unite opposites.
Reality is what we take to be true.
What we take to be true is what we believe.
What we believe is based upon our perceptions.
What we perceive depends upon what we look for.
What we look for depends upon what we think.
What we think depends upon what we perceive.
What we perceive determines what we believe.
What we believe determines what we take to be true.
What we take to be true is our reality.
--from The Dancing Wu Li Masters, Gary Zukav
