I am taking away for now the illustration (Image:Mandala_Layers1.JPG) that was previously on this page, until it is corrected, because the organization of the 37 points into a three-kaya layer seems inaccurate. As far as I understand, the 37 Point Mandala Offering is only the offering of a nirmanakaya mandala. --[[User:Sébastien|Sébastien]] 12:13, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
The illustration on this page (Image:Mandala_Layers1.JPG) relates the 37 points/elements of the mandala offering to the [[three kayas]]. I don't know if this is accurate or not. The only explicit reference I have found concerning this association is in ''The Excellent Path to Enlightenment'' by [[Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche]] (Snow Lion Publications, 1996), pages 68-70, where he presents all 37 elements as part of the nirmanakaya mandala offering; the sambhogakaya mandala is then visualized on top of the nirmanakaya offering.--[[User:Sébastien|Sébastien]] 17:58, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
