Glimpses of Tibetan divination : past and present

Maurer, Petra H., editor, Rossi, Donatella, 1958- editor, Scheuermann, Rolf, editor

Overview

\"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 Kv¶rne, Brandon Dotson, Ai Nishida, Dan Martin, Petra Maurer, Charles Ramble, Donatella Rossi, Rolf Scheuermann, Alexander Smith, and Agata Bareja-Starzynska\"-- Provided by publisher.
