7. Source of Life: Revitalisation Rites and Bon Shamans in Bhutan and the Eastern Himalayas.

Author

Dotson, Brandon

Subjects
*SHAMANS, *MATERIAL culture, *REFLECTANCE
Abstract

Besides clearly distinguishing these mundane rites from other phenomena identified as Bon, Huber also classifies the I srid pa'i lha i cult as "non-religious" for its having no soteriology, being kinship based, and being unconcerned with monopolizing sponsorship (pp. 13-16). Huber also found the I Mi'u rigs bzhi lha sel i to belong to the cult, and traced striking parallels in the I Bshad mdzod yid bzhin nor bu i (late 1400s), composed in southern Tibet where it was evidently influenced by the cult. Huber refers to the central ritual performers as " I bon i shamans", who are hereditary, male, do not undergo trance or ecstasy (pp. 163 ff.), or any initiatory sickness, and who participate in a trans-regional "Himalayan shamanic tradition-complex".
