Including more than 180 representative writings, Sources of Tibetan Tradition spans Tibet's vast geography and long history, presenting for the first time a diversity of works by religious and political leaders; scholastic philosophers and contemplative hermits; monks and nuns; poets and artists; and aristocrats and commoners. The selected readings reflect the profound role of Buddhist sources in shaping Tibetan culture while illustrating other major areas of knowledge. Thematically varied, they address history and historiography; political and social theory; law; medicine; divination; rhetoric; aesthetic theory; narrative; travel and geography; folksong; and philosophical and religious learning, all in relation to the unique trajectories of Tibetan civil and scholarly discourse. The editors begin each chapter with a survey of broader social and cultural contexts and introduce each translated text with a concise explanation. Concluding with writings that extend into the early twentieth century, this volume offers an expansive encounter with Tibet's exceptional intellectual heritage."--Publisher's website. 000470338 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000470338 650_0 $$aNational characteristics, Tibetan. 000470338 651_0 $$aTibet Region$$xCivilization$$vSources. 000470338 651_0 $$aTibet Region$$xHistory$$vSources. 000470338 651_0 $$aTibet Region$$xIntellectual life$$vSources. 000470338 651_0 $$aTibet Region$$xSocial conditions$$vSources. 000470338 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 000470338 7001_ $$aSchaeffer, Kurtis R. 000470338 7001_ $$aKapstein, Matthew. 000470338 7001_ $$aTuttle, Gray. 000470338 77608 $$iPrint version:$$tSources of Tibetan tradition.$$dNew York : Columbia University Press, c2013$$z9780231135986$$z9780231135993$$w(DLC) 2011018491$$w(OCoLC)726620654 000470338 830_0 $$aIntroduction to Asian civilizations. 000470338 8520_ $$bacq 000470338 85280 $$bebk$$hEbrary 000470338 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=1028097$$zOnline Access 000470338 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:470338$$pGLOBAL_SET 000470338 980__ $$aEBOOK 000470338 980__ $$aBIB 000470338 982__ $$aEbook 000470338 983__ $$aOnline
