Sono essenzialmente due gli aspetti nei quali si mostra la distanza della cultura buddhista sull'esistenza rispetto a quella occidentale: Il dualismo anima e corpo (e, di conseguenza, i dualismi connessi di vita e morte, tempo e eternità); la dimensione soteriologica, cioè salvifica, della religione.

Il mandala è il simbolo fondamentale della cultura buddista, è il sacro diagramma mistico, la raffigurazione schematica della struttura dell'universo. Nel mandala si attua lo schema del cosmo e della psiche, l'archetipo dell'universo e della mente, che è uno solo, patrimonio comune di tutta l'umanità. Visualizzando il mandala e meditando, il mistico dissolve le apparenze e rinasce come mandala: corpo, voce, mente e mandala non sono più entità separate. La visualizzazione del mandala introduce il mistico a una nuova dimensione spaziale e temporale.

La Sati, o Mindfulness, è il settimo "elemento" del percorso.
