Abstract | In this essay first written for the Gibellini Felicitation Volume the a. starts by describing the joyous and humorous atmosphere around the Sri Lanka popular Buddhist healing ceremony called Daha-ata-sanniya, and shows how it centres on the naming, exposing and dismissing the real evil, in the form of a human agency, hiding behind the mask. On this bases he reflects on humour as an element of prophetic religion, also in Christianity, and a sign of eschatological hope. |
