- The purpose of the Kalachakra Mandala is to create a visual support for meditation and is used for positive energy
- Kalachakra is a Sanskrit word that means time wheel, where universal compassion turns time into a wheel to produce the enlightenment of all sentient beings
- On the healing power of this mandala: “We firmly believe in its power to reduce conflict and we believe its capable of creating peace, peace of the spirit and therefore of the mind.” – Tenzin Gyatso, the fourteenth Dalai Lama, 1993
- It is considered a means to show the pathway from life to nirvana
- This visual form of the Kalachakra is based on ancient teachings which relate to the cycles of breath, life & death, rebirth, dissolution & creation of the cosmos
