"We can also discuss the mandala in terms of the soul. The soul is the totality of the mandala. Essence arises in the soul, but for a long time... the soul is not completely essentialized; only part of it is. The rest of the field of the mandala – the rest of the consciousness of the soul – is composed of all your mental, emotional and physical experiences. The thread is defined by the center of the soul, and we can know that center most specifically and in a delineated way by recognizing the essential presence and what quality is manifesting." - A.H.Almaas

"Everything that shows up in your mandala is a vehicle for your awakening. From this point of view, awakening is right at your fingertips continually."

- Pema Chödrön

The mandala is a map for spiritual transformation."

- Peter Fenner
