Civilized Shamans

Buddhism in Tibetan Societies

Smithsonian Press, 1993.
Paperback, 725 pages

Simply Fantastic

A book that should be read by two groups of people: Everyone seriously interested in shamanism, and everyone seriously interested in the history and essence of Tibetan Buddhism. It is a big and heavy book and you'll need time - but it will really be worth it.
