- W4313477540 abstract "This chapter considers Buddhist attitudes about the body by examining how a Tantric pill tradition featuring the ritual consecration and consumption of the flesh of the Buddhist “special dead” has encapsulated several different conceptions of embodiment throughout its storied history in Tibet. It examines three pivotal periods of the 1000-year history of this pill tradition to illustrate that multivalent rhetoric in Indian Buddhist tantras translated into Tibetan between the tenth and twelfth century calling for the consumption of the flesh of “seven-times-born” humans transformed in Tibet to become the basis of a popular relic-pill tradition known as the maṇi pill that survives to the present. Following in this way, the maṇi-pill through its formation and most significant transformations reveals its manufacture and consecration to be one of the most pervasive, enduring, and diverse ritual traditions in the history of Tibet. It also provides a unique lens into the Tibetan reception and adaptation of Indian Buddhist tantra – the beginnings of material history of Tantra in Tibet – with ramifications for the historical study of the interface between Tibetan medicine and Buddhist tantra, and how this interface has influenced Tibetan Buddhist conceptions of the body." @default.
