Mandala is a geometrical figure in Buddhist and Hindu symbolism. In Sanskrit, it translates to a “circle” and is often used to represent the universe. Each object in the mandala’s universe is symbolic of an aspect of wisdom. Its ultimate purpose is to help transform ordinary minds into enlightened ones – which is quite an appropriate theme for books.
