What is Mandala use for:

Mandala, called Dultson Kyilkhor in Tibetan, means container of ressence. In Tibetan Buddhism Mandalas come in two varieties; it can represent the universe, as it is used in the Mandala Offering Ritual, where one symbolically offers the entire universe. For this several rings can be placed on top of each other filled with rice and precious objects.

Offering a mandala is a way to get rid of all these negative states of mind. Offering a mandala purifies our attachment, desire, misery and attachment. It enriches the mind with the positive potential to give. We create many positive potentials or favors simply by giving. The offering of the mandala trains us to develop a mind that brings joy and delight in making other people happy. By doing this, we create merit.
