This monograph continues studies of syncretism in the Buddhist cult system in Central Asia which inherited cults from many family and tribal beliefs of the region. Special attention is paid to the transformation of pre-shamanic and shamanic rituals of magical protection of life and well being in Buddhist rituals and traditions. The author illustrates this transformation with help of many Buddhist sources. 30 illustrations. Bibliography.
