2.1. Beliefs

2.4.2. The sacred mandala is a visual of the universe that is painted, imagined, or created with colored sands. A mandala is used to help Buddhists reach Enlightenment.

Accepting the Three Jewels is part of Buddhist devotion. The Three Jewels include the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha, which is anyone who is a monastic practitioner or has attained to any one of the Four stages of enlightenment.
