Synopsis
The Sakyas and Vajracaryas are the highest Buddhist castes among the Newars, the indigenous people of Kathmandu Valley of Nepal and the inheritors of the most authentic monastic rituals and traditions. The author here presents a record of their unique form of Buddhist devotionalism and ritual. The esoteric liturgies performed each day at the main shrines of babas and babis (as traditional Newar Buddhist vibaras are know) are described and the relationship of these rites to other elements of Newar Buddhist practice are analyzed in order to shed light on connections between the latter and Buddhist practices elsewhere

Hard Cover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. First Edition. This book presents findings of research on a particular form of Buddhist ritual practised by Sakyas and Vajracaryas, the inheritors of the monastic tradition and the highest Buddhist castes among the Newars, the indigenous peoples of the Kathmandu Valley, Nepal. The author presents an authentic record of a unique form of Buddhist devotionalism and ritual : the everyday practices of the sole remnant of South Asia's once extensive Mahayana Buddhist community. The exoteric liturgies performed each day are described and the relationship of these rites to other elements of Newar Buddhist practice are analysed, in order to shed light on connections between the latter and Buddhist practices elsewhere. A major contribution to the study of South Asian ritual and Buddhist devotional practice. 387 pp., 23 colour and 11 b&w illustrations, bibliography, index Size: 22 x 16 cm. Seller Inventory # 000269
