Postcard Mandala 5 Elements

Postcard "Mandala 5 elements" by Tibetan Buddhist Art. Mandala of the 5 Elements: earth, fire, water, air and ether. On the back is the following English text:

The basis of Indian Ayurvedic Medicine was formed by the elements of Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Space. This system was later incorporated into Tibetan Medicine. Inside ourselves, these elements correspond to our chakras and are correlated to different emotions, temperaments, colors, tastes, body types, illnesses, thinking styles, and character. This mandala was used to explain the relationship between the diseases and their treatments.

The painting is a copy of my teacher Andy Weber's 'Mandala of the 5 elements' which is, in turn, a replica of a 16th century Nepalese painting.
