This book is the first to trace the history of Chod practice in
Tibet's indigenous Bon tradition. Chod (cutting through) is a
meditative practice in which the practitioner imagines offering his
or her body in sacrifice through elaborate contemplative
visualization. Although a meditative practice, Chod is not done
sitting comfortably on a cushion in a shrine room, but instead is
often practiced in terrifying places like cemeteries or charnal
grounds. The feelings of fear that result are used by the Chod
practitioner to cut through his or her own ego. Chod contains
elements of early shamanism, of sutric and tantric teachings also
found in Indo-Tibetan Buddhism, and of the Tibetan highest school
of Dzogchen.
