In many parts of China, the tutelary deity "tours" the territory of the community he protects: in Fuzhou he often enters the ancestral halls to receive worship. There is an excellent chapter on the "myth" or "legend" of Ho from its beginnings in 1919 at the Versailles peace conference, to the popularization of "Uncle" Ho in songs, poems and photographs after 1945, to Ho's appearance as a principal character in at least seven different Vietnamese plays, to the contemporary development of Ho tutelary deity cults in Vietnamese villages. The tutelary deity of the Sakyas is not Vajra Phurpa (Sanskrit, Vajra Kilaya) but rather Sri Hevajra (Trichen 1983:7-23). |
