Delok ('das log) women on the fringes of Buddhism

Résumé

Delok (Tib. 'das log) existed in the Tibetan cultural world and were mostly women. They "died" and then travelled in the netherworld -- hells, and less often paradises. They came back to earth to tell people what they had witnessed and bring messages from the dead to the living. Their experience became a narrative, either oral or written. Here we will examine this particular religious phenomenon, its possible influences, its meaning in a Buddhist context as well as its linkage to shamanistic experiences.
