Mandala is the transliteration of the Sanskrit "Mandala" and is the center of energy practice in the Tantric tradition. Camellia, also known as mandala flower, is an auspicious flower in Buddhism. According to legend, when the Buddha was preaching the Dharma, he held mandala flowers in his hands, and mandala flowers rained down from the sky. Therefore, mandala symbolizes tranquility, peace, and good luck.
