Mandalas— An In-Depth Look

Join a group of experts to examine the significance and meaning of the Tibetan mandala. Listen as Christian Luczanits discusses the 11th to 15th-century artistic tradition and conceptualization of the mandala and how it was used to offer a rapid path to enlightenment. Then, hear David Gray expand on these ideas in light of his research on the tantric deity Chakrasamvara. Finally, Tenzing Rigdol addresses how his secular mandalic installation is grounded in this long tradition.
Presented in conjunction with the exhibition Mandalas: Mapping the Buddhist Art of Tibet.
