Produktbeschreibung

Birth of Tibet explores the fascinating formative centuries of Tibetan history, revealing how the nation's unique spiritual and political identity emerged. Delving into pre-Buddhist Tibet, the book highlights the early kingdoms and social structures that laid the foundation for later developments. It traces the evolution of Tibetan Buddhism, examining the diverse schools and traditions that took root and adapted to the existing cultural landscape. One intriguing aspect is how Buddhism became deeply intertwined with Tibetan political power, shaping the governance and social fabric of the region. The book argues that the confluence of pre-Buddhist culture, the adaptation of Buddhist teachings, and the strategic consolidation of political power by Buddhist leaders resulted in a distinctive civilization. This process wasn't linear but a dynamic interplay of forces. It unfolds in three parts, beginning with the geographical and cultural setting, then tracing the spread of Buddhism, and finally investigating the entanglement of Buddhist institutions with political power. By examining ancient chronicles, archaeological findings, and accounts from neighboring empires, the book paints a nuanced and balanced picture of this pivotal era in Tibetan history.
