I learned that mandalas start from the middle and go out, just like a banana and an apple.

I learned that I am a mandala and every human being is a mandala.

I learned that the Chinese wear different clothes than Americans and they eat different foods than us too.

We both have flags, houses and mandalas. We also have presidents.

I liked how I found out what a mandala is and how it works.

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 and then wrote about their experience. Read more about the workshop.
