High Religion : A Cultural and Political History of Sherpa Buddhism
Only 1 left in stock
$20.00
An eminent anthropologist examines the foundings of the first celibate Buddhist monasteries among the Sherpas of Nepal in the early 20th century — a religious development that was a major departure from “folk” or “popular” Buddhism. The work constitutes a major advance both in our knowledge of Sherpa Buddhism and in the integration of anthropological and historical modes of analysis.
Book is in “Like New” condition. Some light superficial wear and/or remainder mark might be present.
