More : Calling Down the Gods (Brill's Tibetan Studies Library 8) (Brill's Tibetan Studies Library) This book uniquely provides first-hand insights into the spirit-mediums of Upper Tibet, the men and women who channel the gods. John Victor Bellezza here for the first time presents the conclusions of his extensive research in the region itself, shedding light on the historical context, the tradition, characteristics, ceremonies, and paraphernalia of the phenomenon. With extensive interviews with spirit-mediums, including interpretive material drawn from Tibetan texts; annotated translations of rituals devoted to the major deities of the spirit-mediums; and annotated translation of Bon literature relevant to the origins of spirit-mediums, and concluding with a chapter on Bon literary references to the ritual implements and practices. A major source-book. Readership: This work will appeal to those interested in Tibetan cultural and religious history, Inner Asian shamanism, and to those involved in the study of cross-cultural religion and mythology. About the Author: John Vincent Bellezza, Visiting Scholar, University of Virginia, has spent over two decades researching the cultural history of the Great Western Himalaya and Upper Tibet. He is the author of several books and numerous articles on indigenous aspects of Tibetan culture, including Divine Dyads: Ancient Civilization in Tibet (LTWA, 1997). Amazon comment: & 8220;... as a person interested in the shamanistic traditions of the world, I found this book indispensable. It details a specific and unique form of practice in the area, and interviews with the aging intermediaries themselves are invaluable. This effort is a great service all who are interested in this tradition. Reading it inspired me to sign on to an expedition to upper Tibet this September led by the author, John Bellezza.& 8221; Download:
