mandala letter

Several years ago, Bart created a set of metal work mandalas and delivered them with this note. I hope it can be of value to you. Namaste! -eve-

Please find inside a mendalla. I hope that it can be of value to you. These are my first attempts at metal work, but wanted to do them myself. The circles represent the great circle of life, and the different levels of consciousness that exists in all of us. The center with the clear stone is the place of pure consciousness, enlightenment, and Buddha consciousness, not to be mistaken for Buddha nature. The lotus blossom in the center, is the symbol that unfoldment, which is parallel with detachment, because with detachment comes unfoldment, which is the pathway to the light. The yellow stone is the highest manifestation of the mind, (not the intellect.) The red is the manifestation of the body, that place that allows us to experience Buddha nature in the sensory, life and all that is has to offer. The blue is the essentail nature of man, or the soul, the place of our connection with all things. The green stone is understanding, the pure blending of heart mind, and the essential nature. The purple stone is wisdom, the place where experience and compassion come to meet. The orange is manifesting, the movement created through the pure mind and pure movement. The mind is the keeper of all knowledge, decernment and perception. The body is the keeper, and the gateway to experience and expression. All is experienced through the body. All expression happens through the body. The essential nature of man is the gateway to connection, to knowing. The great knowing resides in the place of spirit.

I will get further into this when I see you again. Thank you again for all that you do and are doing, and most of all for being you.

Joy to you always,
Love,

Bart
