Searching for the Body: A Contemporary Perspective on Tibetan Buddhist Tantra
Rae Erin Dachille
In the early fifteenth century, two Tibetan monks debated how to transform the body ritually into a celestial palace inhabited by buddhas. Searching for the Body demonstrates the significance of this debate for understandings of Tibetan Buddhism as well as conversations on representation and embodiment occurring across the disciplines today.
