"The Nomadic Sacrifice" - un Nuovo Libro sul Chod
Pubblicato a Kathmandu il volume di Martino Nicoletti in lingua inglese: The Nomadic Sacrifice: the Chöd Pilgrimage among the Bönpo of Dolpo (Western Nepal), Kathmandu, Vajra Publication, 2013.
Nel
cuore dell’Himalaya, alcuni officianti appartenenti all’antica
religione tibetana del Bön, compiono un lungo pellegrinaggio rituale
attraverso territori selvatici e inospitali, abitati da divinità
montane, geni, demoni e inquiete anime di defunti.
Servendosi
di strumenti musicali ricavati da ossa umane, gli officianti evocano
la presenza delle entità invisibili, così da celebrare il
sacrificio simbolico del proprio stesso corpo (chöd),
offerto in nutrimento agli spiriti nel corso di un singolare
banchetto rituale.
Testi,
pagine di diario, immagini e un inedito cortometraggio dell’autore
narrano di questo arcaico rituale dai profondi significati
spirituali. Uniti ad essi l’inedita traduzione del testo sacro
rituale La
Saggezza Segreta delle Dakini
(Khandro
Sangba Yeshe)
realizzata da Geshe
Gelek Jinpa.
Arricchisce
l’opera un DVD contenente un cortometraggio dell’autore e il
canto liturgico dei monaci bönpo
del monastero di Triten Norbutse in Nepal.

Published
in these days the book by Martino Nicoletti: The
Nomadic Sacrifice: the Chöd Pilgrimage among the Bönpo of Dolpo
(Western Nepal),
Kathmandu, Vajra Publication, 2013.
In the
heart of the Himalayas, some officiants belonging to Tibet’s
ancient religion, Bön, undertake a long ritual pilgrimage through
wild and inhospitable terrain inhabited by mountain gods, genii,
demons and the restless souls of the dead.
Using instruments fashioned from human bone, the officiants evoke the presence of invisible beings in order to celebrate the symbolic sacrifice of their own body (chöd) which is offered as to the spirits as food during a singular ritual banquette.
Texts, diary excerpts, images and an unedited short film shot by the author retell this archaic ritual steeped in spiritual meaning. Also included is a previously unpublished translation of the sacred ritual text The Secret Wisdom Dākinī (Khandro Sangba Yeshe) by Geshe Gelek Jinpa.
This publication is enriched by a DVD containing a short film by the author and a liturgical chant performed by the monks of the bönpo monastery Triten Norbutse in Nepal
