A Buddha Life Mandala is a detailed and symbolic artwork that illustrates the major events in the life of Siddhartha Gautama, the historical Buddha. This mandala visually narrates his journey from birth to enlightenment and finally to his passing into Nirvana.
The center of the mandala typically features the Buddha in a meditative pose, surrounded by concentric rings that depict important moments like his birth in Lumbini, his departure from royal life, his enlightenment under the Bodhi tree, and his first teaching at Sarnath. Each section of the mandala holds symbolic significance, representing core Buddhist teachings and principles.
