El mandala como herramienta de conocimiento personal

Abstract

Mandala, Khil Khor in Tibetan, is an artistic manifestation which comes from the Buddhist tradition and has been spread over the West region. The psychologist Carl Gustav Jung was one of the first people who looked into this universal archetype and studied its potential as a healing tool in the different levels of the human being. The study of those encrypted designs, generally rounds, is an approximation to the personal knowledge whose key is decoded in the mandala’s centre, the axis mundi .
