MANDALAS in World Religions
The geometric symbolism of the circle & square in conjunction is one
of the oldest symbols of the primal relationship between the finite &
the infinite. The best-known examples are from the visual traditions
of Hinduism & Buddhism. However, this symbol also has had a
central position in the sacred art of Taoism, Islam, & Christianity,
as well as in the tribal traditions from which developed all the world
religions of today.
