Abstract | Buddhist rituals that simulate offering the cosmos are often characterized in terms of what they represent rather than their physical actions, material ephemera, or visual depictions. Newar and Tibetan versions of the cosmic offering, however, arise from closely related cosmological texts, but exhibit differences in performance and product. Further, depictions of these rituals in painting create new visions of the cosmos that affect conceptions of the world even outside their original context. Ritual performances and artworks thus become sources for cosmological thinking beyond their authoritative texts. A detailed comparison of Newar and Tibetan rituals and artworks creates nuance in notions of a shared Himalayan Buddhist world-view and highlights complex relationships between texts, practices, depictions, and traditions. |
