ABSTRACT
As I have already said, I have put together, out of a continuous series of some four hundred dreams and visions, all those that I regard as mandala dreams. The term “mandala” was chosen because this word denotes the ritual or magic circle used in Lamaism and also in Tantric yoga as a yantra or aid to contemplation (fig. 39). The Eastern mandalas used in ceremonial are figures fixed by tradition; they may be drawn or painted or, in certain special ceremonies, even represented plastically. 1 Shri-Yantra https://s3-euw1-ap-pe-df-pch-content-public-p.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/9780203165935/6fb63859-70d0-4c61-b305-86e8d7a10a01/content/fig39_B.tif" xmlns:xlink="https://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"/>
