Anthropologists and scholars of religion, language, and culture discuss cultural practices that constitute the body of Tibetan and Himalayan religion outside monastic institutions. Their topics include a ramble through the burial grounds of ordinary and holy beings in Tibet, morality and consort practices according to the treasure revealer Se ra mkha' 'gro's (1892-1940) biographical and autobiographical writings, treasure revealers and their role in religious revivals in contemporary eastern Tibet, local community rituals in Bhutan, the ala and ngakpa priestly traditions in Nyemo in central Tibet, and interpreting some predictors of sprul sku rebirth. Two of the seven essays are from a 2006 seminar in Bonn, Germany. No index is provided. Annotation ©2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
