The volume examines different concepts of sacred space in Tibetan culture, covering subjects such as pilgrimage traditions, sacred landscapes, religious sites, ritual practices and the cultural meanings attached to particular places. Its contributors approach Tibetan sacred geography from historical, anthropological and religious perspectives.
The essays investigate how Tibetan people have identified certain spaces and places as spiritually significant or distinct from ordinary areas of life.

The collection provides a broad academic examination of the relationship between place, religion and Tibetan culture.
