Abstract
This chapter talks about various concepts involved with Ritual Indigenisation in Tibetan Buddhism. The author thinks the Kappa could be good to think with in the sense that it prepares us to think in both directions, when we talk of such matters as cultural adaptation, indigenisation and nativism. The author looks into some of the water in the head-bowl that Tibetans took with them in their historical and continuing transition toward being the best of all possible Buddhists. The dranggy? is by all accounts a ritual food offering for deities (or spirits) of one kind or another. The chapter also talks about ritual usages of the Expanded Chest. In the end, it highlights that we do not need to be partisans in order to represent in our studies the competing tendencies and tensions at work in Tibetan history. Keywords:cultural adaptation; Dan Martin; dranggy?; indigenisation; Kappa; nativism; Ritual Indigenisation; Tibetan Buddhism
