Mandala means "circle" in Sanskrit. They can symbolize the universe, the natural perfection in nature, and universal harmony. Tibetan Buddhist monks create their traditional Mandalas with colored sand. I create my Mandalas with light. A technique involving lights, camera, photoshop for post production, and my trusty rusty tripod. All the images on this website are the copyright of Terry Long, who produced them.

Blue Flower Mandala
There are many light sources that you can use to make a light painting. I mostly use LED lights. You can also use normal flashlights, sparklers, fibre optics, cellphones, fire poi, street lighting and car lighting.
These are all amazing Terry. I am familiar with the sand mandalas created by the Buddhist monks and thought about how they relate to the sand paintings created by the Navajo. Anne-Marie (England)
