Death and Reincarnation in Tibetan Buddhism Inbetween Bodies by Tanya Zivkowic

The book looks closely at previously unexamined figures whose history is relevant to a better understanding of how Tibetan culture navigates its own under- standing of reincarnation, the veneration of relics and different social roles of different types of practitioners. It analyses both the minutiae of everyday interre- lations between lamas and their devotees, specifically noted in ritual performances and the enactment of lived tradition, and the sacred hagiographical conventions that underpin local knowledge.
