This discussion, centered on the topic of “The Universality and Diversity of Shaman Heritage in Asia,” regards the research done in shamanism in Phillippines, Myanmar, and Vietnam. Looking at these regions, the research is, after all, about the shaman heritage in Southeast Asia. Korea, which is part of the Northeastern part of Asia, has done research of shamanism in relation to Siberia and Mongolia. This presentation, however, made us discover unexpected and interesting similarities between the shamanism of Korea and that of Southeast Asia. I’d like to personally thank all the researchers for their meaningful presentations. I’m very glad about this opportunity for many countries to share their information on shamanism and to discuss the cultural worth of the shaman heritage of Asia. |
