My Peace Mandala

I originally created this mandala as a coloring page to help my elementary art students understand the ideas of compassion and peace. I was inspired by a speech given by the Dalai Lama titled "Compassion as a Pillar of Peace"

The footprints
represent
compassion.
The idea of
walking a mile
in someone else's
shoes.

The heart represents
the idea
that if we have
compassion
we can love our
fellow man,
maybe even
our enemies.

The Peace sign
over the earth
illustrates that if
we can truly love
our fellow man
Peace on Earth is
possible.

As idealistic
as it seems I try to
spread that idea
with my glow in
the dark mandala
button.
