Ritual is one of the most pervasive religious phenomena in the
Tibetan cultural world. Despite its ubiquity and importance to
Tibetan cultural life, however, only in recent years has Tibetan
ritual been given the attention it deserves. This is the first
scholarly collection to focus on this important subject. Unique in
its historical, geographical and disciplinary breadth, this book
brings together eleven essays by an international cast of scholars
working on ritual texts, institutions and practices in the greater
Tibetan cultural world - Tibet, Nepal, Bhutan, and Mongolia. While
most of the chapters focus on Buddhism, two deal with ritual in
Tibet's indigenous Bon religion. All of the essays are original to
this volume. An extensive introduction by the editor provides a
broad overview of Tibetan ritual and contextualizes the chapters
within the field of Buddhist and Tibetan studies. The book should
find use in advanced undergraduate courses and graduate seminars on
Tibetan religion. It will also be of interest to students and
scholars of ritual generally.
