Abstract | Researchers believe the underground palace, in Fufeng county in west Shaanxi, was built in the style of an ancient Tantric mandala - a symbolic design essential to the performance of sacred rites and used as an instrument of meditation. Tantra is one of the Buddhist religious writings concerned with mysticism and magic. |
