Description

Explore a major anthropological study through Identity, Ritual and State in Tibetan Buddhism: The Foundations of Authority in Gelukpa Monasticism. Published by Routledge, this work provides a deep look into contemporary Tibetan Buddhist monasticism and tantric ritual within the Ladakh region of North-West India. The text examines the role of tantric ritual in forming and maintaining traditional state structures and political consciousness in Tibet. By providing detailed descriptions and analyses of monastic ritual, the book illustrates how Tibetan tantric traditions interact with localized understandings of bodily identity and territorial cosmology. This study offers a substantial re-interpretation of the role monks play as ritual performers. It serves as an essential resource for those interested in the connection between religious practice, identity, and political authority in the Tibetan tradition.
