Nechung, el Oraculo del Dalai Lama

Description

An unprecedented look at the oracular rites of Tibetan Buddhism, this biography examines the life of Thubten Ngodup, at once a humble monk as well as the mouthpiece of the fearsome god Dordje Dragden–and, as such, a prophet to the Dalai Lama and the Tibetan government in exile. The picture that emerges is that of a mystical, mysterious, and wholly magical Tibet. Una vista sin precedentes de los ritos profeticos del budismo tibetano, esta biografia examina la vida de Thubten Ngodup, a la vez un monje humilde y la portavoz del dios pavoroso Dordje Dragden–y, como tal, un profeta para el Dalai Lama y el gobierno en exilio de Tibet. El cuadro que emerge es ese de un Tibet mistico, misterioso y totalmente magico.
