Journal Title: Amor Fati - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
The mandala symbol, which is a sui generis cultural phenomenon, however not because of its uniqueness, but generality of occurrence, and also a subject of the author's research interests, became the reason for writing this article. Mandala in the Eastern tradition, precisely in Buddhist tradiction, is a symbol of fullness, wholeness, emanation of unity in multiplicity. That is a universal motif, which can be found in a wide range of cultural circles (f.e. in architecture, crafts and rituals). The aim of the article is to prove, that this symbol refers to unity and multiplicity in various ways of interpreting, among others, in Jungian psychology, semiology or Buddhist philosophy.
