Reviews
"Christoph Baumer has done solid research into the history of the Bon religion as well as traveled in Tibet to the principal places of current religious practice and historical importance. Through lucid text and excellent photos, he not only introduces and explains the pantheon of Bon, but also its priests, its devout lay people, its places of worship, and its rituals."-Dr. Amy Heller, Research Consultant to the Tibetan Collection, Newark Museum
Synopsis
Tibet, the highland beyond the Himalayas, seems permeated with an atmosphere of living spirituality. Here in ancient times the religion of Bn was widespread, marked by shamanistic practices and a pronounced cult of the dead. Until well into the eighth century, Bn was the dominant religion and culture on the roof of the world; it is in essence the belief system of ancient Tibet. From the second half of the eighth century onward, Bn was superseded by Buddhism, which had traveled north from India, and the two religions came to influence each other in both doctrine and ritual. In spite of the eventual dominance of Buddhism through its position as the state religion, however, a reformed Bn school has been able to assert itself down to the present. Its tradition continues to remain alive in a few monasteries as well as in visible signs of Tibetan popular religion, including prayer flags and spirit traps, temple and mountain circumambulations, death and marriage rites, oracle techniques, and countless religious rituals. In fact, it may be reasonably asserted that Tibetan culture cannot be completely understood without a knowledge of Bn practices. This book takes the reader to secluded monasteries and sacred sites of the Bn religious community. With its thoroughly informed text and more than 200 photographs of Bn monasteries, lamas, and sacred sites, most undocumented until now, this volume introduces the myths and culture of ancient Tibet. The preface, written by the spiritual head of all Bnpo, confers additional authority on the work, while its notes, maps, index, and an extensive bibliography make it essential reading for anyone with an interest in Tibet or eastern religions., Tibet, the highland beyond the Himalayas, seems permeated with an atmosphere of living spirituality.

    I am so very pleased with my Revere ware pot. It came very well packed and was exactly as it was described in the listing. It will be an excellent replacement for the one that I destroyed with burned sugar! The shipping was reasonable and I believe that it was a good price for a vintage item. I would definitely buy from this seller again!
