: Mandala Texts: Ridam/Ladam: Closing Mountains to Human Activity

Terdag (嘟傕綇嘟亨舰嗉嬥綎嘟戉絺嗉�) refers to a type of Bhutanese Shaman or Oracle.鈥擳he ridam/ladam practice is deeply rooted in the Bhutanese spiritual worldview of seeing the surrounding environment as a living force. In the Pre-Buddhist belief system, natural surrounding including mountains, cliffs, forests, lakes and rivers were seen as formidable sites which embodied natural forces or are abodes of invisible forces of nature. Mountains are identified with mountain gods, forests as homes of territorial deities, cliffs as citadels of spirits, rivers as residences of water spirits, and so forth. These spirits came in many kinds such as nedag (嘟傕綋嘟︵紜嘟栢綉嘟傕紜) zhidag (嘟傕綖嘟侧紜嘟栢綉嘟傕紜), pholha (嘟曕郊嗉嬥剑嗑粪紜), yullha (嘟∴酱嘟｀紜嘟｀痉嗉�), dud (嘟栢綉嘟脆綉嗉�), tsen (嘟栢綑嘟撪紜), gyalpo (嘟⑧缅嗑编剑嗉嬥綌嘟监紜), lu (嘟�嗑赤酱嗉�) etc. and they sometimes communicated with the people through shamans and oracles such as pawo (嘟戉綌嘟犩紜嘟栢郊嗉�), pamo (嘟戉綌嘟犩紜嘟樴郊嗉�), terdag (嘟傕綇嘟亨舰嗉嬥綎嘟戉絺嗉�) and naljorm (嘟⑧荆嘟｀紜嘟犩綎嗑编郊嘟⑧綐嗉�).
