Doctoral Dissertation about Life in the Lhopo Community

Summary/Abstract: The doctoral dissertation of Kikee Doma Bhutia, “Mythic history, belief narratives and vernacular Buddhism among the Lhopos of Sikkim”, broadly speaking, deals with the multiple interactions and entanglements between diverse dimensions: among these intertwined dimensions the author explores relations and dynamics between the Lhopo community and the non-human entities with whom they share the landscape they live in, but also, in a broader framework, the dynamics occurring between vernacular Buddhism and orthodox Buddhism.
