| Abstract | Ritual may be usefully viewed as a symbolic attempt to resolve contradictory ideas and affects within a single cultural tradition. One such paradox faced by Buddhism in practice is the necessity of simultaneously affirming and denying the value of worldly existence. The Sherpa seasonal festival of Dumje may be understood as an attempt periodically to express and resolve this problem through a complex juxtaposition of sexual, aggressive, and ecological metaphors and symbols.
