  abstract: Over the course of the last millennium in Tibet, tantric yogins have been taking on norm-overturning modes of behaviour and dress, including provoking others to violence, publicly consuming filth, having sex, and draping themselves in human remains. Because of this they have been called 'madmen' (smyon pa), but have also achieved a degree of saintliness. This book is the first comprehensive study of these 'holy madmen', who have captured the imaginations of Tibetans and Westerners alike.
