Glimpses of Tibetan Divination: Past and Present is the first book
of its kind, in that it contains articles by a group of eminent
scholars who approach the subject matter by investigating it
through various facets and salient historical figures. Over the
centuries, Tibetans developed many practices of prognostication and
adapted many others from neighboring cultures and religions. In
this way, Tibetan divination evolved into a vast field of ritual
expertise that has been largely neglected in Tibetan Studies. The
Tibetan repertoire of divinatory techniques is rich and immensely
varied. Accordingly, the specimen of practices discussed in this
volume-many of which remain in use today-merely serve as examples
that offer glimpses of divination in Tibet. Contributors are Per
Kvaerne, Brandon Dotson, Ai Nishida, Dan Martin, Petra Maurer,
Charles Ramble, Donatella Rossi, Rolf Scheuermann, Alexander Smith,
and Agata Bareja-Starzynska.
