Mandala
The Sanskrit word mandala has multiple meanings. Generally it indicates geometric configurations of repeated symbols or drawings with a circular or square perimeter.
One of the most important meanings of this word is also “to gather the reality”.
Mandala is the world, the whole universe, God and the creatures that are part of it.
Everything is a mandala: the human being, the sun, the earth… we are all mandalas that are part of a single, immense mandala.
It’s up to us coloring the life!
Zen Koan
The word “koan” indicates a logically unsolvable rebus that Zen masters give to adepts to help their enlightenment!
In the same way, this book contains stories, thoughts, personal anecdotes in which disciple and master confront each other on the theme of mandala. A series of situations, questions and answers, jokes and enigmas that make up the leaves, trees and roots of an interior garden.
