Dongba Manuscript for the “Burning Heavenly Incense” Ritual
The “Burning Heavenly Incense” ritual is performed to offer sacrifices to gods or spirits. According to Nakhi Dongba specialist He Limin’s interpretation, the ritual involves offerings to twenty-five deities, although this particular text addresses only twenty-three. Following the offerings, prayers are made to remove misfortune from the household, suppress malevolent spirits, and ensure the family’s ongoing peace and well-being.
