Reviews for The Sound of Vultures' Wings: The Tibetan Buddhist Chöd Ritual Practice of the Female Buddha Machik Labdrön

The melodies and meditation exercises that accompany the Chod ritual texts were passed down by oral tradition, from master to disciple, to the present day and have reached this author through long and arduous training as an insider. Thus, this work is one of a kind, and with its technical analysis of rhythm and melody in Chod, will enhance and inspire the work of future historians of religion and music. - Guy L. Beck, author of Sonic Liturgy: Ritual and Music in Hindu Tradition The growing population of Western Buddhist practitioners will benefit tremendously from the perspectives detailed in this fascinating book. It makes a substantial contribution to religious studies, Asian studies, and ethnomusicology. - Sarah Morelli, University of Denver
