商品簡介
Scholars of literature, religion, history, anthropology, and other disciplines offer an overview of contemporary work in Tibetan research in Australia. Tibetan language and culture have never been taught at Australian universities, so Tibetan scholars have had to work at the edges of neighboring disciplines such as Chinese studies or Buddhist studies. The topics include writing the history of the Kingdom of Lhathog in eastern Tibet, intersections of physical and spiritual powers, the Shugden taboo and Tibetan national identity in exile, and a modern portrait of a Tibetan incarnate lama. There is no index. Distributed in the US by ISBS. Annotation c2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
