A Lamp for a Windless Place BOOK TWO

In the Bhagavad Gita, a steady mind is compared to a lamp in a windless place, its flame burning still and bright. Colouring offers a simple path towards that steadiness. As one shape after another fills with colour, attention gathers on the page and the busyness of the day begins to settle.

This collection brings together two old companions: the mandala, a circular design used for centuries as an aid to meditation, and short passages of wisdom from the great contemplative traditions. Each page pairs one mandala with one mindful quote, so every session comes with a thought to hold while the colours go in.

Inside

• 40 original mandalas in a range of styles: lotus and flower mandalas with layered petals, Tibetan-style palace mandalas with square courtyards and four gates, star and geometric designs, and radiant sunbursts.
• A mindful quote beneath every mandala: drawn from the Bhagavad Gita, the Buddha's Dhammapada, the Upanishads, the poetry of Kabir and Rabindranath Tagore, and the Tao Te Ching, with a few original reflections along the way.
• Graded difficulty: the pages run from the most open designs to the more detailed, so each session can match the mood of the day.
• Crisp vector line art: clean, sharp lines on every page, at any print size.
• Print as often as needed: unlimited copies for personal use. Teachers may print unlimited copies for the children in their own classes.

Difficulty line: Difficulty ★★★★: finer detail, denser rings and intricate patterns, for experienced colourists and longer, more absorbing sessions.

Format: instant PDF download, 44 pages including 40 colouring pages. A4, and it also prints well on US Letter with "fit to page".

Also available: Book One (★★), with forty mandalas with bolder shapes and more open space, ideal for relaxed colouring or for beginners. Both books come together in a bundle at a reduced price, and a free four-page sample is available in the shop.
