«Al repetir el ''mantra'' y al asumir el mudra de cualquier Buda», escribe el monje e instructor budista Sangharaskshita, «uno no sólo puede colocarse en correspondencia o alineamiento con el orden de realidad en concreto que él personifica sino también ser infundido de su poder trascendental»<ref></ref>. | «Al repetir el ''mantra'' y al asumir el mudra de cualquier Buda», escribe el monje e instructor budista Sangharaskshita, «uno no sólo puede colocarse en correspondencia o alineamiento con el orden de realidad en concreto que él personifica sino también ser infundido de su poder trascendental»<ref></ref>. | ||

Buddhists often depict the Dhyani Buddhas in a [[mandala]]. ''Mandala'' is a Sanskrit word meaning “circle,” translated in Tibetan texts as “center” or “what surrounds.” Some say the word derives from ''manda'', meaning “essence.” The mandala as a circle denotes wholeness, completeness and the perfection of Buddhahood. The mandala is also a “circle of friends”—a gathering of Buddhas. Traditionally mandalas are painted on ''thangkas'' (scroll paintings framed in silk), drawn with colored sand, represented by heaps of rice, or constructed three-dimensionally, often in cast metal. A Dhyani Buddha is positioned in the center as well as on each of the cardinal points of the mandala. | Buddhists often depict the Dhyani Buddhas in a [[mandala]].
