| Synopsis: |
This anthology presents an array of works (hagiographies, pilgrimage guides, prayers, accounts of visits to hell, epics, consecration manuals, sermons and exorcism texts) that together offer a view of the realities of those who have inhabited the Tibetan cultural domain over the centuries. The 36 chapters are testimony to the vast scope of religious practice in the Tibetan world, past and present, and are organized thematically under five headings: accounts of time and place; remarkable lives; rites and techniques; prayers and sermons; and dealing with Death and other demons. The chapters juxtapose materials from different sects, historical periods and geographical regions in an attempt to broaden the range of what we understand the religious practices of Tibet to encompass. Each chapter contains a translation and a substantial yet accessible introduction by a leading scholar of Tibetan religions. |
