| Research Abstract |
The Ngor Mandala Collection is one of the most important mandala collections of Tibetan Buddhism. So far two versions of the Ngor Mandala Collections have been published : The Ngor Collection, Kodansha,1983 and A New Tibeto-Mongol Pantheon, Sata-Pitaka Series, New Delhi,1967. Having been given a set of color films of a third version of the Ngor Mandala Collection by Dr.Lokesh Chandra, the Director of International Academy of Indian Culture, we have published the third version of the Ngor Collection as A Ngor Mandala Collection from Vajra Publications, Kathmandu, in March of 2006 (A4,pp.134). It turned out that the third version was the original set on which the black-and-white line-drawings of A New Tibeto-Mongol Pantheon, Sata-Pitaka Series had been based. We have compiled a set of blck-and-white line-drawings of the NIspannayogavli. This Sanskrit text describes twenty-six kinds of mandalas of the late Indian Buddhist Tantrism.

In order to compare the structure of Buddhist Tantrism ih the Himalayan District with that of Tantrism in other areas, we (Tachikawa, Tanto) have taken up a project of studies of Balinese Tantrism. Kathmandu, which has been one of the main fields of our studies, and Bali seem to have a number of features in common. We have worked on the structure of temples and rituals in Batuan District situated in the central Bali. The result has been published as a part of our report. Mori, having carried on an iconographic study of the Eighty-four Siddhas in the Hemis Monastery, tried to find out an important link between Indian Buddhist Tantrism and Tibetan Buddhist Tantrism. The result has been published as "The Icons of the Eighty-four Siddhas in the Hemis Monastery." Having investigated a goddess cult called Bisnudebi, Ishii tried to find a link between Buddhist Tantrism and Hindu Tantrtism. As a step to clarify the structure of Buddhist Tantrism, Tachikawa tried to elucidate the structure of religion. First he has divided religious acts into two : collective and individual. Then he set up the basic concepts such as the sacred and the profane, the pure and the impure. Through those basic operating concepts, he tried to analyze the structure of Buddhist Tantrism in comparison with that of the non-Tantric Buddhism. He published part of the result as Seinarumono Zokunarumono (the Sacred the Profane) from Kodansha in 2006. Less
