Buddhism is rich in fascinating practices and rituals. From well
known rituals such as chanting sutras or painting mandalas to
lesser known rites associated with death or stupa consecration, or
derived from contact with other religions, this book offers
students a unique understanding of the living tradition. It draws
on eye witness reports of Buddhism on the ground, but also provides
a reflective context within which the practices can be understood
and appreciated. It covers religious and lay practices, art and
festivals, regional and temporal variations, socio-political
practices, and much else. Written by an authority on the topic,
each chapter introduces a ritual or practice, describes it as the
author has observed it and then goes on to discuss its context and
significance. All entries include a list of further reading as well
as photographs to help students deepen their understanding.
