FURTHER READING
For a poetic counterpart to the echo and reflection considered here, see Mongolian Poetry 10: Reflection, which turns to contemplation and the ways experience can be mirrored through poetic form.
To follow the relationship between sound and imagination, see Letter from Letter from Mongolia 07: Music and Imagination, which considers how listening opens different creative and interpretive possibilities.
For the tactile dimension of repetition and attention in devotional practice, see Artscape 14: Erhi (Эрхи), which examines prayer beads as ritual material culture and a physical support for concentration.
