Description:
"...This account in English of a contemporary wizzar cult has been
translated from Burmese and edited by a Spanish-born Buddhist monk.
It is a sometimes loosely-linked compilation, comprising hagiographies
of three wizzars, a biography of the medium through whom they speak,
testimonials from devotees and a glossary. Its value is increased by the
amount of detail provided: lists of participants in ceremonies, the prayers
recited, the quantities of ingredients and offerings, the timing of rituals..."
