Jhakri ((ネパール語:झाक्री)) is the Nepali word for shaman. It is sometimes reserved specifically for practitioners of Nepali shamanism, such as that practiced among the Tamang people and the Magars. This word is also used in the Indian states of Sikkim and West Bengal, which border Nepal. Jhakri shamanism is practiced among numerous ethnic groups of Nepal and Northeast India, including the Limbu, Rai Khambu, Sunwar, Sherpa, Kami, Tamang, Gurung, Magars and Lepcha. Belief in spirits is prevalent, hence also the fear of spirit possession. Some vernacular words for ''jhakri'' are ''phedangbo'' in the Limbu language, ''maangpa'' or ''nakchyong'' in Khambu, and ''boongthing'' in Lepcha. Jhakris perform rituals during weddings, funerals, and harvests. They diagnose and cure diseases. Their practices are influenced by Hinduism, Tibetan Buddhism, Mun, and Bön rites. ==See also== *Banjhakri and Banjhakrini, shaman deities of Nepal 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jhakri」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
