| Research Abstract |
The translation into Englsh of The Genesis and Development of the Mandala reached about 2/3 of the full text. Mitrayogin's 108 Mandalas, an Image Database was published in 2013 at Kathmandu. The romanization of the Sanskrit manuscripts of the Vimsatividhi and Samajasadhanavyavastholi, two important texts on the mandala had completed. Excursions to Mustang, Nepal and California produced significant results. I have already presented papers on them on occasion of academic conferences. Around 3100 slide films photographed in Tibet have already been put into a database.
