Desjarlais, Robert R. - SENSORY BIOGRAPHIES. Lives and Deaths among Nepal's Yolmo Buddhists.

 1544313930,
Berkeley, University of California Press, 2003. 1st edition 396 pp. Pb. Robert Desjarlais's graceful ethnography explores the life histories of two Yolmo elders, focusing on how particular sensory orientations and modalities have contributed to the making and the telling of their lives. These two are a woman in her late eighties and a Buddhist priest in his mid-eighties, members of an ethnically Tibetan Buddhist people whose ancestors have lived for three centuries or so along the upper ridges of the Yolmo Valley in north central Nepal. It was clear through their many conversations that both individuals perceived themselves as nearing death, and both were quite willing to share their thoughts about death and dying. Edges cover slightly tanned. Otherwise nice and clean copy.
