Death and Reincarnation in Tibetan Buddhism

Contextualising the seemingly esoteric and exotic aspects of Tibetan Buddhist culture within the everyday, embodied and sensual sphere of religious praxis, this book centres on the social and religious lives of deceased Tibetan Buddhist lamas. It explores how posterior forms ¿ corpses, relics, reincarnations and hagiographical representations ¿ extend a lamäs trajectory of lives and manipulate biological imperatives of birth and death.
