I am also particularly interested in testing some of the most popular theories advanced by anthropologist Victor W. Turner (1920-1983), namely those on rituals and rites of passage, which I found inspiring and thought-provoking. The classification of the ritual of Vajrakīlaya from the viewpoint of a Western anthropologist is an interesting endeavor. Turner’s theoretical output expands especially in Betwixt and Between: The Liminal Period in Rites de Passage, where he highlights the status system of the passenger in rituals. I argue that the notion of “Betwixt and Between” or “liminality” in the Tibetan Buddhist context is best represented by the ritual process of drölwa, which can be glossed in English as “liberation killing,” a central, yet controversial theme in the Vajrakīlaya`s ritual. The Vajrakīlaya ritual is believed to assist in one’s advancement toward personal liberation and includes the application of three aspects or rites of separation, transition, and incorporation. Wielding the phurba, the wisdom weapon, Vajrakīlaya kills the sacrificial victim to get rid of obstructions and thus transforming it into a better being. This violent killing is legitimized as “liberation killing” in Tibetan Buddhism. “Liminality” equals to “liberation killing,” which provides the transformation to the effigy (enemy) to transcend to a better realm. In addition, I would argue that Vajrakīlaya, endowed with primordial wisdom is able to transform “wrath” into “compassion” to implement “liberation killing”.\nFinally, since the introduction and popularity of Tibetan Buddhism in Taiwan, the rite of Vajrakīlaya has increasingly attracted devotees and Tibetan Buddhist teachers have found ways to adapt it to the demands of the new faithful. Mostly oblivious of the ambivalent nature of Vajrakīlaya, the participants aspire and pursue their personal interests through the ritual. This study concludes that while the aspects of “liberation killing” intrinsic to Vajrakīlaya are intentionally omitted in 21st century Taipei, they have nevertheless been substituted by more mundane quests including the removal of any obstacles preventing the achievement of prosperity and wealth in the present. |
