Kalachakra Mandala – Wheel of Time

Kalachakra is a Sanskrit word that means “Wheel of time”. The Kalachakra is a famous thangka painting that is treasured for the symbolic visual illustration of teachings of traditional Tibetan Buddhism. The Kalachakra Mandala centers around time of cycles of planets and breathing of human beings, representing the elements of origin, duration and destruction. The cosmos pulsing through the collective karma of beings, producing vital winds (vayu) that move atomic particles of the worlds and sentient beings. Working with the most subtle energies within ones body on the path to enlightenment.
