The ritual vases or bumba that are involved in a secretive Buddhist ceremony in Mongolia highlight the theoretical potential of centralizing material objects which instantiate doubt in anthropological theory. The uncertainties around the contents of these ritual vases, depending on their origins, demonstrate how doubt reflects broader uncertainties and can be generative of religious practices and imaginaries. Bumbas are thought to instantiate great power if they are treated correctly and contain the right materials. If, however, the material contents are suspected of being inert or repellent, the owner risks being rendered foolish, and the ritual will have no efficacy. Materials instantiating unknown elements and causations can, through their presence, be a source of obfuscation, rather than clarification. This article highlights how the conjunction between uncertainty and material forms can reveal the interplay of certainty and doubt, which, rather than creating internal intelligibility, can constitute open cultural and ritual fields.

uous弱的祝福：蒙古佛教徒召唤仪式中怀疑的实质

蒙古的秘密佛教仪式中涉及的仪式花瓶或邦巴舞突出了将物质对象集中化的理论潜力，这些实例化了人类学理论中的疑问。这些仪式花瓶内容的不确定性，取决于其起源，表明怀疑如何反映出更大的不确定性，并可能是宗教习俗和假想的产生。如果对Bumbas进行正确的处理并包含正确的材料，它们将实例化强大的功能。但是，如果怀疑其中的物质是惰性的或驱避性的，则所有者有被愚弄的风险，该仪式将无效。实例化未知元素和因果关系的材料可以通过它们的存在而引起混淆，而不是进行澄清。
