曼荼罗实验室丨EXTUDIO,ENORME Studio

曼荼罗实验室是一件互动装置作品，旨在激发人们对感情世界的探索与好奇心。试着回想一下，在日常生活中，我们的感情有多么的复杂，再想象一下，也许我们有能力去转化这些情感。

The Mandala Lab is an interactive installation that invites curiosity about our emotions. Consider how complex feelings show up in your everyday life and imagine how you might have the power to transform them.

关于曼荼罗和情感

About Mandalas and Emotions

曼陀罗是一种宗教术语，意译为坛场，是一种强大的佛教教学工具，旨在教授人们面对并转化骄傲、依恋、嫉妒、愤怒和无知等情感。这五种痛苦的情绪在佛教中被称为“忧愁情绪”，它蒙蔽了我们对世界的认知。通过对这些情感深入、持续的研究，一些佛教修行者发现了相应它们的智慧与方法，并能够利用这种智慧改变他们对世界、自身以及他人的看法。曼荼罗实验室中的每一项活动内容，都旨在帮助人们内省并检查自己的这些特定的情绪状态。

Mandalas are Buddhist teaching tools that can be used to learn how to confront and transform feelings of pride, attachment, envy, anger, and ignorance. Known as kleshas in Buddhism, these five afflictive emotions cloud our understanding of the world. Through a deep, sustained investigation of these emotions, some Buddhist practitioners cultivate corresponding wisdoms and skills that help them shift their view of the world, themselves, and others. Each activity on the floor is designed to help you examine these specific emotional states.
