壇幫不僅象徵本尊的智慧和威德，同時也是一種顯示佛教宇宙真理的圖繪，一種「無限的大宇宙」和「內在的小宇宙」相即的微妙空間。壇城的一切在本質上都是大樂與空性的密續智慧。西藏僧人以壇城唐卡為視覺上的輔助，幫助他們集中精神，進入冥想世界，啟動內在精神力量。
Mandala not only symbolizes the wisdom and power of the deity but also serves as a depiction of the Buddhist cosmic truth, representing a subtle space where the "infinite macrocosm" and the "inner microcosm" converge. Everything within the mandala essentially embodies the wisdom of great bliss and emptiness. Tibetan monks use mandala thangkas as visual aids to help them focus their minds, enter the meditative realm, and activate their inner spiritual power.
