My favourite book on mandalas is called MANDALA: Journey to the Centre by Bailey Cunningham. It's packed with colourful images and what an inspiration this book has been to the group. Bailey Cunningham also has a website called The Mandala Project, where you can find details of the book. So if you want to take a look, there's a link at the bottom of this very post.

Sacred Circles: Around the world with the mandala
Mandalas are found in many
traditions around the world as sacred circles. The Chinese Yin-yang symbol, the
Hindu Yantra symbol and the Native American Medicine wheel are good
examples. Tibetan Buddhist monks have a
tradition of making them as meditation mandalas with coloured sand and Rose
windows can be seen in Christian cathedrals too, within beautiful stained
glass. In natural surroundings ripples
on water, cobwebs, snowflakes and starfish are reminiscent of them. Then into the mysterious, as crop circles often
depict them. In a more mundane setting
they may be on dinner plates and other pieces of pottery.

Spring Flowers
Fresh flowers were gathered together from the ground & made into these mandalas. These flowers were casualties of the wind & rain & so were not hurt by us in any way. The colours are very healing too.
