Divining with Achi and Tara is a book on Tibetan methods of
prognostics with dice and prayer beads (mala). Jan-Ulrich Sobisch
offers a thorough discussion of Chinese, Indian, Turkic, and
Tibetan traditions of divination, its techniques, rituals, tools,
and poetic language. Interviews with Tibetan masters of divination
introduce the main part with a translation of a dice divination
manual of the deity Achi that is still part of a living tradition.
Solvej Nielsen contributes further interviews, a mala divination of
Tara and its oral tradition, and very useful glossaries of the
terminology of Tibetan divination and fortune telling. Appendices
provide lists of deities and spirits and of numerous identified
ritual remedies and supports that are an essential element of a
still vibrant Tibetan culture.
