The circular designs in Thangka Painting symbolises the idea that life is never ending and everything is connected. The mandala also represents spiritual journey within the individual viewer. The definition of mandala literally means "circle". It's when we define mandala in energetic terms we find that mandala meaning deals with a visual aid that pulls in the human consciousness. That's why mandalas are so effective in meditation.
