MANDALA is an ancient Sanskrit word that means “sacred circle".
It most often refers to spiritual or religious art that is created in the form of a circle. 

The word is specifically associated with traditional Hindu and Buddhist artwork, but mandalas can be found in perhaps all of the worlds spiritual traditions. We find them in the rose windows of the great cathedrals, Native American medicine wheels, the I Ching, and Zen circle paintings, among numerous others.The sacred circle can be found in every inch and corner of our living universe.

rose windows = rosetones

medicine wheels = ruedas medicinales

every inch and corner = en cada pulgada y esquina (en cada rincón)
