Chakrasamvara MANDALA
In the Chakrasamvara mandala, Chakrasamvara (Wheel of Great Bliss) stands with his consort Vajravarahi in the center of a palace of concentric levels with four gates. Rings of lotus petals and flames purify the enclosed space, and eight charnel grounds are arrayed around it, marked with a domed stupa, a tree, animals, and the dead. Because it demonstrates the limitations of cyclic existence clearly, connecting with the Chakrasamvara mandala as a projected display of the nature and causal structure of our universe can help us to swiftly reveal all ordinary accomplishments and the attainment of awakening.
