The Mandala App vs Mandala

The Mandala app brings together Buddhist wisdom and meditation techniques with the latest insights of psychology and neuroscience to handle the challenges and complexities of modern life.   In contemporary terms, our suffering may take the form of excessive stress at work, breakdown of relationships, and a pervasive sense of anxiety and confusion about the world we live in. Much of these sufferings arise from excessive competitiveness, our desire in the form of attachment to material things, to status, and to fame, as well as distorted beliefs about what makes us truly happy. So the Buddha’s insight that transforming the way we view ourselves and the world around us is key to our happiness remains potent even today.   From changing our basic Mindset and the very way in which we see ourselves to regulating our emotions, the Mandala App enables us to create greater synergy between our day-to-day life and our values and deeper aspirations.   The App offers a series of engaging talks and conversations with experts on a wide variety of topics, such as managing stress, dealing with adversity, developing greater resilience, cultivating empathy and compassion, creating healthy relationships, and many more. These topics are explored to help find greater peace, meaning and joy in our lives.   Our panel of experts include Dr, Thupten Jinpa, Daniel Goleman, Kelly McGonigal and others.   The App also offers step-by-step guided meditations aimed at quieting the mind, learning to focus, and developing mindful awareness. Starting from basic meditation practice, the App guides us through more advanced levels and also offers meditations for specific purposes.   The Mandala app allows you to connect with other subscribers in your region, as well as engage with others in discussions around every topic. It also lets you set and monitor your intentions to help you focus on outcomes. The Digital Bead in the app helps you meditate while commuting or walking.   Being part of the Mandala community you are choosing to live your life consciously and with purpose.
