This book analyses objects of power and their roles in people’s lives through the lens of a single compelling case example: power objects as they appear throughout the narrative, philosophical, and ritual writings of the Tibetan Buddhist ritual specialist Sokdokpa Lodrö Gyaltsen and his milieu. Making an important and innovative contribution to the field, this is the first book to discuss materiality in the context of Tibetan Buddhism. It will be essential reading for scholars working on Tibetan Buddhism, and of great interest to those studying Tibetan ritual, Tibetan history and Buddhism and material culture.
