Mandala (Southeast Asian history)
Okay kiddo, I’ll explain what a mandala is.
A mandala is a very special shape that has been used for thousands of years in Southeast Asian history. It looks like a circle that is divided into different sections, and it has a lot of different patterns and colors.
People in Southeast Asia think that mandalas are really important because they believe they can help to remind them to be kind to others, to be peaceful, and to stay focused. They also think that looking at a mandala can help them to feel calm and relaxed.
Mandalas are used in a lot of different ways. Sometimes they’re drawn on the ground or on a wall, and people will sit around them and meditate. Other times they’re made out of sand, and it takes a long time to create the intricate designs. When they’re finished, they’re usually destroyed as a symbol of the impermanence of everything in life.
So, that’s what a mandala is, kiddo! It’s a really special shape that helps people remember to be kind, feel calm, and stay focused.
