an extremely valuable contribution both to the study of religion and ritual in general and to Tibetan studies in particular ... Specialists and nonspecialists alike will benefit from several readings of this work. Its rich accounts of tantric cosmology, ritual regimes, and local lifeways are accessibly written with relatively few technical terms, yet supplemented with long footnotes and a glossary of Wylie transliterations for all Tibetan words rendered phonetically in the text ... overall though, this work is a ground breaking and important that should be required reading for all students of Tibet, Asian Studies, pilgrimmage, and religion and ritual in general. Charlene Makley, Journal of the American Academy of Religion

<br> This is a work that will repay repeated readings....Huber's [book] is a groundbreaking work of great significance to both Tibetan and Asian Studies that will also be of interest to scholars and students of Religious Studies and anthropology in general. It is a well-written, balanced, and insightful account of a complex subject, one that we may hope will be the model for future case studies of Tibet's other n?ri mountains. --Journal of Buddhist Ethics<p><br>
