A detailed description and analysis of Tibetan ritual dances from the Bon period onwards, based on both textual evidence and fieldwork.
This unique work presents invaluable material related to the Tibetan secred dances, which have almost met their doom with the destruction of monastic life in Tibet. The author brings to their description a wealth of knowledge of Tibetan iconography and ritual.
"Written before the flight to India of the Dalai Lama in 1959 and left uncompleted at the author's death, this is a detailed description and analysis of Tibetan ritual dances from the Bon period onwards, based on both textual evidence and fieldwork. The appendix by Walter Graf is concerned with the performance of Tibetan music and annotations." John Whelp, Clio Press.
