MANDALA WORLD

 
SPONSORS
 

The world of the Mandala is like the word we inhabit, but it is not the same. The world we live in is the product of common karma of all beings; the world of Mandala is a new world, and a real world, the embodiment of the real merit, wealth and body, past, present and future, of those who make the offerings.

"Extracted from the Excellent Path of the Two Accumulations" by Dezhung Rinpoche

The vibrant 'Mandala World Diagramme' is the model we have adapted for fundraising endeavours. It provides a quick and easy reference chart for sponsorship.

This scheme lays out pledges in a geocentric pattern. One imagines the mandala as if viewed from above, as a bird would soar over it in the sky. From its centre at Mt. Sumeru, it expands outward to the cardinal and intermediate directions.

Designated amounts correspond to figurative elements from the traditional Tibetan Mandala Offering prayer, which the nuns perform. Each holds a special wish to be fulfilled and realised. The Mandala is now completed been through generosity of the 37 heaps of sponsors. (10 Feb 2007).
