Mandala of Vajradhara, Manjushri a

금강살타·문수보살 만다라(曼荼羅圖)
🖼 ONE LINE FROM THIS PAINTING

"What does the very center of an intricately woven mandala point toward?"

📝ONGO's Reflection

This painting is a mandala in which many sacred figures are arranged within a circular order. It came from the tradition of Buddhist art, yet the composition in which a tangle of forms is woven toward a single center leaves a deep impression on any eye. I see here an order turned toward a center. The countless forms of the mandala are not each their own but all encircle the one center. Only when scattered things gain a center does chaos become order. A life is the same. However many the tasks, once it is settled what to set at the center, everything around it finds its place.
