What I learned about mandalas is that they're everywhere - on my body, even on animals and that they are made of atoms. I learned that my body is made of atoms and that I'm a mandala.

I learned that Chinese people do a lot of different things and that in China when a baby's born it's already one year old.

Chinese are similar to us because they're humans. What we have in common is we live on Earth! The difference is what kids play with compared to what we play with.

I liked making the mandala and learning more about China.

Note: This mandala was made in a Mandala Project workshop called "Chinese-American Mandala" in May, 2000. After a presentation on Chinese culture, each student created a mandala with symbols from both Chinese and American cultures. Read more about the workshop.
