Reliable schematic diagram of the mandala?

snGus

Hello.

I am in search of a reliable mandala schematic diagram.

By "schematic diagram" I mean one designed to inform and name it's elements, like the different realms, the significance of the moon, etc. But not a long text. Just labels.

I'm not looking for an artistic picture of the mandala.

If you believe you have what I'm looking for please send me the link or the file. Thanks!

Which mandala? There are many. Until a point is chosen the mandala is not there. Yet it must be there or else where does it come from when a point is chosen?

Just something I've been thinking about.

What do you understand by "mandala"? I think we may not be talking of the same thing. The mandala is a weel being hold by a vicious creature. In its center there are three animals an its is divided in sections meaning the different realms of existence. It is an abstraction presented as a drawing. Its artistic style varies depending on the time and the tradition of the artist. But the figures, sections and meaning are always the same.
