Summaries

This film documents a Buddhist ritual practice conducted in the home of the film maker's family in an Eastern Tibetan region of China. The practice involves creating elaborate decorated sculptures out of dough. In this film, these are offered as food for non-human spirits who may otherwise harm people or animals of the household. Enticing harmful spirits away from the house, Buddhist monks and family members work together to create good fortune for the family in the coming year.—Anonymous
