The Yamantaka Mandala

        Mandala is a Sanskrit term. In ancient India, it means a country’s territory or the place for ritual ceremony. Later in Buddhism, it is a word that represents the essence of Buddhism.
        Carrying the meaning of attaining the innate essence. It refers to a center where the following constituent parts focus and come together: enlightened beings and worthy sages, merit fields, and the perfection of body, speech and mind.
        Ultimately, mandala characterizes the seat of enlightenment and the attainment of the unsurpassed, complete and perfect enlightenment of a Buddha.
