David M. DiValerio provides a comprehensive reading of texts that offer instruction on the eremitic endeavor, comparing how dozens of authors have treated six key orienting concerns: place, people, food, sources of danger, the spiritual lineage, and time. The book traces a genealogy of the Tibetan ascetic self, demonstrating an increasing tendency to adopt practices that contrast the meditator with earlier generations of enlightened masters, defining the latter-day retreatant as a being in time. By viewing instructions for how to live in retreat as technologies of self, this book sheds new light on how the history of this tradition has been driven by evolving notions of personhood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Methodologically innovative and richly sourced,&nbsp;<em>Mountain Dharma<\/em>&nbsp;sets a new standard for the historical study of asceticism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-about-the-author\">About the Author<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/history\/about\/directory\/divalerio-david\/\">David M.
