User talk:Yayun Zheng/Sand mandala

Greeting
Thank you for your support and materials. This entry is my preparatory project, not my main work project.

I am currently working on the following projects: Dropping a Han Dynasty Urn(1995)

I thought of a few additional resources that might be useful. These are all available via Temple University Libraries:

Matthew T. Kapstein, Tibetan Buddhism: A Very Short Introduction (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2013). Mandalas are mentioned several times (not necessarily sand mandalas), but the religious background could be useful.

Bryant, Barry. The wheel of time sand mandala: visual scripture of Tibetan Buddhism. San Francisco: Harper, 1992.

There is a 26-minute documentary from 2002 about the production of sand mandalas titled “Sand painting: sacred art of Tibet.” You have access to this via Temple Libraries (sign in using your ID).

Good luck! Josephrkopta (talk) 21:32, 8 July 2021 (UTC)
