A Preparatory Study in Jaina Mandala

在助学金的帮助下，我在此期间多次前往印度学习，为我对耆那曼陀罗的研究收集资料。非常幸运的是，我有机会在两个不同的Digambar耆那教寺庙参加名为“panca -maha-kalyanaka Mahotsava”的仪式，一个在恰蒂斯加尔邦的比莱，另一个在北方邦的博帕尔，并且可以获得“耆那圣会”的数据，以及一些仪式的旧文本。在我这段时间收集的文件的帮助下，又有一些论文准备在学术会议上宣读。

With the grant-aid, I made study trips to India several times in the period and collected data for my research on Jaina mandala. It was very lucky that I could have opportunities to attend the ceremonies called'Panca-maha-kalyanaka Mahotsava' at the two different Digambar Jain Temples, one in Bhilai, Chattisgarh and the other in Bopal, M.P., and could get the data of'the holy assembly of the Jina(samavasarana)'with some old texts of the rituals. With the help of those documents which I have collected in the period, some more papers are ready to be read in the academic meetings.
