Below image is a 3D-view of the Mind Mandala. Not all dimensions have been officially verified, but it should give a good overall impression. All ornamentation is left out to create a clearer image, but note that even the ornaments do have profound symbolic meaning. The deities are represented as cylinders in the correct color. Deity pairs are represented as two half-cylinders.
