Cosmos Mandala

Cosmic mandalas are the sophisticated dance of the moon, sun, and other planets around Mount Meru. There are various thangka paintings that feature mount Meru (also called Sumeru) with different designs. It is depicted with geometric shapes that are symbols of the various metaphysical state of the mind consistent with traditional Lamaism. The mountain is observed from the sky and seems like a little point decorated with an om symbol within the center of the mandala.
