The Anthropology of Tibetan Buddhism

"Fieldwork at the Estonian Drikung Kagyu Ratna Shri Sangha"

This blog is my online ethnographic fieldwork diary. It serves as an exploration into Himalayan cultures and societies; an academic research of Buddhist beliefs, rituals and practices; a study of social and religious interactions within Buddhist communities in the West. Here I share my thoughts and questions, and my experiences as a participant-observer in the field.
