Il mandala è il simbolo fondamentale della cultura buddista, è il sacro diagramma mistico, la raffigurazione schematica della struttura dell'universo. Nel mandala si attua lo schema del cosmo e della psiche, l'archetipo dell'universo e della mente, che è uno solo, patrimonio comune di tutta l'umanità. Visualizzando il mandala e meditando, il mistico dissolve le apparenze e rinasce come mandala: corpo, voce, mente e mandala non sono più entità separate. La visualizzazione del mandala introduce il mistico a una nuova dimensione spaziale e temporale.
