Buddha mandalas assemble the enlightened assembly around a central Buddha, often Shakyamuni or Amitabha, with bodhisattvas, offering goddesses, and lineage masters arranged in mirrored symmetry. Each figure faces the centre, drawing the practitioner's gaze inward toward awakening.

Unlike the cosmic diagrams of Kalachakra, these mandalas read as gatherings: rows of serene faces in mineral blues, greens, and golds that reward slow looking. They suit practitioners devoted to a particular Buddha family and hang beautifully as the centrepiece of a shrine wall.
