The Kalchakra Mandala is ritually dismantled after the teachings and pored into the next body of water.

The term Mandala can refer to the whole cosmos, namely, if the wholly purified universe is given as an offering during a specific ritual in the mind.

According to Tantrism, religion and ritual are not an antithesis to the suffering during the circle of life. On the contrary, there exist numerous correlations between, on one hand, religious practice as well as structure and process in the universe and, on the other, the particular human being. These correlations are worth recognizing and utilizing.

For this reason knowledge of Tantric Buddhist cosmology is also necessary for the understanding of the Mandala ritual, during which the meditating person gradually recognizes how inseparably man, cosmos and Mandala are connected with each other; how man and cosmos are mirror images of the Mandala - and vice-versa.
