This book analyses the social, political and religious life of the
Hyolmo people of Nepal. Highlighting patterns of change and
adaptation, it addresses the Shamanic-Buddhist interface that
exists in the animated landscape of the Himalayas. Opening with an
analysis of the ethnic revival of Nepal, the book first considers
the Himalayan religious landscape and its people. Specific
attention is then given to Helambu, home of the Hyolmo people,
within the framework of Tibetan Buddhism. The discussion then turns
to the persisting shamanic tradition of the region and the ritual
dynamics of Hyolmo culture. The book concludes by considering
broader questions of Hyolmo identity in the Nepalese context, as
well as reflecting on the interconnection of landscape, ritual and
identity. Offering a unique insight into a fascinating Himalayan
culture and its formation, this book will be of great interest to
scholars of indigenous peoples and religion across religious
studies, Buddhist studies, cultural anthropology and South Asian
studies.
