Kilkor Mandala (color)

The Kilkhor Mandala represents an imaginary palace that is contemplated during meditation. Each object in the palace has significance, representing an aspect of wisdom or reminding the meditator of a guiding principal. The mandala’s purpose is to help transform ordinary mind into enlightened ones and to assist with positive feelings. The Buddhist Tantric teachings include methods for the purification of the psychophysical within a pure environment or mandala.  The deities who inhabit a mandala are not external gods; rather, they symbolize the enlightened state, which everyone has the potential to realize.

From a young age, I have great interest in drawing. My interest in drawing pursued me to join Choki Traditional Art School.

I am proud of the skills that I have gained over the years. I hope to continue improve my skills and become a fine painter, which has always been my dream.

I would like to express my gratitude to the school and all the supporters for making my dream come true. Had it not been for this opportunity, our life certainly would be different and difficult.
