Eastern Tibet by Christoph Baumer,Therese Weber Pdf
Eastern Tibet is the cradle of Tibetan culture. Here, in Kham and Amdo, an intense exchange with neighboring regions took place as early as Neolithic times, while archaeological finds from tombs related to Hellenistic, Iranian, Sogdian, and Chinese societies testify to the cultural richness of the area in those later periods. In the first millennium of our era, Eastern Tibet reached international relevance, as three branches of the trade network called the Silk Roads passed through its borders. Since the 9th century, Eastern Tibet has also been a religious center, as seen by the Amdo roots of present XIVth Dalai Lama. The holistic life philosophy of the people of Eastern Tibet is shaped by the region's innate spiritual environment, its vast and undefiled landscapes, and its precious cultural treasures. Illustrated with more than 250 extraordinary color photographs, this is the first study dedicated solely to the culture of Eastern Tibet. It fills an important gap, not the least because more Tibetans live in Kham and Amdo than in the so-called Tibetan Autonomous Region designated by the Peoples Republic of China. The thoroughly researched text is the result of field-work conducted by both authors over a period of several years, and the brilliant and inspiring images feature people, landscapes, and cultural objects often documented for the first time. Without an understanding of this important region, any perception of Tibetan culture remains fragmentary.
Monastic and Lay Traditions in North-Eastern Tibet by Anonim Pdf
In recent years, the Sino-Tibetan frontier regions have attracted increasing scholarly interest. The region of Rebkong in Qinghai province is of particular significance because of its unique location on the Sino-Tibetan borderland, its multi-ethnic population and its complex religious history, which incorporates both large Geluk monasteries and significant Nyingma and Bonpo lay tantric communities. Covering the nineteenth century to the present, this volume brings together ten papers that explore the relationship between religion and culture in Rebkong. Using insights from anthropology, history and religious studies, the contributors offer new research and fresh interpretations of this important region on China’s periphery, discussing issues of ethnicity and identity, the role of public institutions, and the role of religion and rituals.
This book presents the first comprehensive anthropological account of premodern Tibetan pastoral economy and social organization in the Kham region of eastern Tibet, and convincingly readdresses anthropological debates and political claims about feudalism or serfdom in Tibetan societies.

In the Land of the Eastern Queendom by Tenzin Jinba Pdf
The story underlying this ethnography began with the recent discovery and commercialization of the remnant of an ancient “queendom” on the Sichuan-Tibet border. Recorded in classical Chinese texts, this legendary matriarchal domain has attracted not only tourists but the vigilance of the Chinese state. Tenzin Jinba’s research examines the consequences of development of the queendom label for local ethnic, gender, and political identities and for state-society relations.

The Essence of Jung's Psychology and Tibetan Buddhism by Radmila Moacanin Pdf
The Essence of Jung's Psychology and Tibetan Buddhism cuts to the heart of two very different yet remarkably similar traditions. The author touches on many of their major ideas: the collective unconscious and karma, archetypes and deities, the analyst and the spiritual friend, and mandalas. Within Tibetan Buddhism she focuses on tantra and relates its emphasis on spiritual transformation, also a major concern of Jung. This expanded edition includes new material on the integration of the two traditions, and the importance of these paths of the heart in today's unsteady world.
BUDDHA NATURE Do all living beings ultimately become enlightened? Do we have Buddha nature, the seed of enlightenment? These questions concerning an ordinary living being's potential to become a Buddha, the purest form of existence, are the main topic of this book. Based on the views of the three major Buddhist schools of Buddhist philosophy Vaibhasika, Cittamatrin and Madhyamaka Geshe Sonam Rinchen explains how our minds, though stained by temporary defilements, are innately pure, luminous and cognizant and how we can become aware of the mind's clear light nature. Geshe Sonam Rinchen was born in 1933 in the Tehor region of Kham, Tibet. He began his religious studies at Dhargye Monastery and later entered Sera Je Monastery at Lhasa. He continued his studies in India after his escape from Tibet in 1959 and received the Geshe Lharampa degree in 1980. He is at present a resident teacher at the Library of Tibetan Works & Archives, Dharamsala, India, where he teaches Buddhist philosophy and pratice to international students. Ruth Sonam holds an M.A degree from Oxford University. She has acted as interpreter and translator for Geshe Sonam Rinchen since 1983.

Using ethnographic materials and documents from East Tibetan villages, this book addresses the impact of modernization on everyday life and the ways in which it melds with traditional forms of knowledge to create a new Tibetan identity and scientific rationality. Including cases centred on meteorology, geography, and seismology, the book assesses a wide range of traditional local activities, including foraging, farming, and domestic practices, and argues that and demonstrates how science, technology, and ideas about modernity have all influenced these activities. It highlights that when inconsistencies among different knowledges emerge, modernization can create inconsistent assemblages of modern and traditional practices and reveal the multiplicity of everyday life. Using these examples of everyday life to portray the complexity of day-to-day existence in Tibet, this book will be of huge interest to students and scholars of Tibet, China, human geography, anthropology, and the sociology of science and technology.

This major study analyses the traditional modes of Sino-Tibetan relations in order to unearth general patterns beyond partisan points of view. It sheds light on contemporary issues in the Sino-Tibetan dialogue, and discerns possible future structures for conflict resolution in occupied Tibet. With its economic reforms, China is changing and will change more in the near future, thereby expanding the scope for freedom and democracy. It is in such a context that several leading Chinese intellectuals have, since the early 1990s, called for a fresh examination of the history of Sino-Tibetan relations in order to determine the actual status of Tibet. This book is a Tibetan's contribution to this great debate. Tibet is often viewed in isolation from other developments in Asia or the West. This book, for the first time, analyses the Tibetan question within the context of international politics, especially the roles of Britain, India, the USA and Russia in paving peaceful ways to conflict resolution in Tibet.
