Abstract
Humans are surrounded by circles and cyclical concepts from a young age. The mandala is one such circular image which has a strong tie to Tibetan Buddhism but also to modern art therapy techniques. Mandalas, in these two differing fields, have extremely dissimilar functions, meanings, and intended purposes. This research paper explores the diverging ways in which the mandala is employed and used in these two opposing disciplines of religion and science.
