“We experience the seamless, unimpeded flow of everything that arises and dissolves within the reality-sphere that is the mandala of our own existence.  Nothing is out of place; everything gives unique expression to an infinite network of conditions that are implicated in every manifestation from the most miniscule to the most cosmic, from the most insignificant to the most magnificent.”

Peter Fenner

“Awareness of the mandala may have the potential of changing how we see ourselves, our planet, and perhaps even our own life purpose.”
