What is a Mandala? Buddhism Explained with Robert A.F. Thurman

This talk was recorded during the 2016 Force For Good Class Series at Tibet House US in New York City.
‘A Force For Good’ is a Tibet House US course to further the Dalai Lama’s contemporary world initiatives, from His Holiness’ American Institute of Buddhist Studies and Mind & Life Institute science dialogues (Universe in a Single Atom) and His creation of Abhidharma 2.0 through the “Science for Monks” programs, his “secular ethics” (Ethics for the New Millennium and Beyond Religion), His nonviolent approach to conflict resolution, including His Nobel Peace Laureate activities to seek dialogue and a win-win reconciliation with China in the face of the ongoing ethnicidal policies in Tibet (Freedom in Exile and Man of Peace: The Illustrated Life Story of Tibet’s Dalai Lama) & along with his emphasis on positive activism (A New Reality: Charter of Universal Responsibility).

Thank you for sharing the story of mandalas. I have strange experiences lately with mandalas and the number 8. Your viewpoint helps.

I saw this with my eyes closed while I was tripping on mushrooms for the first time. I described it to people I saw something that looked like the pacman setting.

Hare Krishna totally confused and the mythical world of the consciousness of our spiritual journey through the universe and the divine consciousness of our spiritual consciousness becoming like a beautiful dream that never existed.........????????
