Rare Tibet
October 25th, 2009
2 part question….Why is everyone in such an uproar over china and tibet….that has been going on for years
and now that the Olympics are over there you see all these Americans protesting the torch and the Olympics as a whole just because it is in china……but on the other hand…there is coltan a rare metal which is used in cell phones, lap tops, game systems such as ps2 ect…that people in the Congo are being kidnapped to farm, killed for resisting, and women being rapped and killed on sight…so before we go and protest something so far away that is really none of our business shouldn’t America concentrate on the issues we have with in our boarder first. We are protesting a crime but supporting a murder. I know can of worms but i would love to hear what you have to say.
since when does the congo border on the US.

Born in Tibet $12.18 Chogyam Trungpa–meditation master, scholar, and artist–was identified at the age of only thirteen months as a major "tulku," or reincarnation of an enlightened teacher. As the eleventh in the teaching lineage known as the Trungpa tulkus, he underwent a period of intensive training in mediation, philosophy, and fine arts, receiving full ordination as a monk in 1958 at the age of eighteen. The following year, the Chinese Communists invaded Tibet, and the young Trungpa spent many harrowing months trekking over the Himalayas, narrowly escaping capture. Trungpa’s account of his experiences as a young monk, his duties as the abbot and spiritual head of a great monastery, and his moving relationships with his teachers offers a rare and intimate glimpse into the life of a Tibetan lama. The memoir concludes with his daring escape from Tibet to India. In an epilogue, he describes his emigration to the West, where he encountered many people eager to learn about the ancient wisdom of Tibetan Buddhism. |

Bradt Tibet $4.07 Exploring ethnic Tibet independently is a challenge. The proverbial "land of snows," it possesses some of the wildest and roughest road routes in high Asia, and so trekking, motoring, and mountain biking are all covered in this new edition. Political and cultural issues make Tibet a sensitive destination for Westerners to visit; Michael Buckley’s advice includes guidelines on cultural etiquette, local customs, and traveling with minimum impact on Tibet’s environment. Michael Palin, the renowned television personality ("Himalaya"), described the first edition as: "The most thumbed of all my books on Tibet. I might have had some trouble with the yak butter, but Buckley made everything else about Tibet wonderfully palatable. A must-read." Features include: *Knowledgeable insight into Tibetan culture and history*The holy city of Lhasa in depth, Buddhist monasteries, and pilgrimage sites*Routes through the northern and eastern areas of Kham and Amdo*"Star treks"–high altitude trekking, including the Everest region |

Peace in Tibet $27.99 On 13 December 1903, Colonel Francis Edward Younghusband, Commander of the Order of the Indian Empire, British Commissioner for Tibet Frontier Matters, once more crossed over from Sikkim to Tibet, this time over the Jelap (Dzelap) La. True to his Edwardian heritage, his personal luggage alone filled 29 containers and included 67 shirts, camp suit, camp dinner suit, an assortment of coats and hats, a prodigious supply of underwear, an umbrella and a campaign bath. This is the story of the British invasion of Tibet, the negotiations with the Tibetan government and the eventual signing of a peace treaty on 7 September 1904, told through excerpts from official correspondence between the Commission and India and from diaries kept by Colonel Younghusband and Captain O’Connor. The transliteration of names, in the text and in the maps, follows the usage of the period. |

Tibet: A History $25.83 Situated north of the Himalayas, Tibet is famous for its unique culture and its controversial assimilation into modern China. Yet Tibet in the twenty-first century can only be properly understood in the context of its extraordinary history. Sam van Schaik brings the history of Tibet to life by telling the stories of the people involved, from the glory days of the Tibetan empire in the seventh century through to the present day. He explores the emergence of Tibetan Buddhism and the rise of the Dalai Lamas, Tibet’s entanglement in the "Great Game" in the early twentieth century, its submission to Chinese Communist rule in the 1950s, and the troubled times of recent decades. "Tibet" sheds light on the country’s complex relationship with China and explains often-misunderstood aspects of its culture, such as reborn lamas, monasteries and hermits, "The Tibetan Book of the Dead," and the role of the Dalai Lama. Van Schaik works through the layers of history and myth to create a compelling narrative, one that offers readers a greater understanding of this important and controversial corner of the world. |

Women in Tibet $34.25 Filling a gap in the literature, this volume explores the struggles and accomplishments of women from both past and present-day Tibet. Here are queens from the imperial period, yoginis and religious teachers of medieval times, Buddhist nuns, oracles, political workers, medical doctors, and performing artists. Most of the essays focus on the lives of individual women, whether from textual sources or from anthropological data, and show that Tibetan women have apparently enjoyed more freedom than women in many other Asian countries. The book is innovative in resisting both romanticization and hypercriticism of women’s status in Tibetan society, attending rather to historical description, and to the question of what is distinctive about women’s situations in Tibet, and what is common to both men and women in Tibetan society. |

Buddhismus in Tibet $24.93 Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2008 im Fachbereich Politik – Int. Politik – Region: Ferner Osten, einseitig bedruckt, Note: 2,0, Universit t Rostock (Institut f r Politik- und Verwaltungswissenschaften), Veranstaltung: Herrschafts- und Gesellschaftsstrukturen in Tibet, 23 Quellen im Literaturverzeichnis, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die neuesten Entwicklungen in Tibet, in denen Aufst nde der buddhistischen M nche gewaltsam durch die chinesische Volksarmee niedergeschlagen werden, zeigen immer wieder die enormen Einfl sse, die der Buddhismus auf das tibetische Volk hat. Nicht zuletzt aufgrund der charismatischen Pers nlichkeit des 14. Dalai Lamas konnte die religi se F hrung in Dharamsala, Indien, ihr Ansehen in Tibet erhalten, wenn nicht noch ausbauen. Der tibetische Buddhismus wird in den westlichen Medien oft als eine sehr friedvolle Religion dargestellt. Dieses Bild wird mit einer genaueren Betrachtung der Geschichte des tibetischen Buddhismus zu korrigieren sein. Um die Inhalte des tibetischen Buddhismus darzustellen, ist ein R ckblick auf die Urspr nge der Religion unumg nglich. Diese finden sich im Indien des 6./7. Jahrhunderts v. Chr. und nat rlich mit dem Buddha Siddhartha Gautama, dem Religionsstifter selbst. Im Anschluss werden die Charakteristik der buddhistischen Religion und ihre verschiedenen Schulen erkl rt, um sp ter R ckschl sse auf Gemeinsamkeiten und Unterschiede zum Urbuddhismus herausstellen zu k nnen. Das Hauptaugenmerk dieser Arbeit liegt auf dem tibetischen Buddhismus, auch Lamaismus, Vajrayana, Diamant-Fahrzeug, Tantrismus oder tantrischer Buddhismus genannt. ber die Unterscheidung dieser Bezeichnungen kann sp testens nach der Betrachtung des vierten Kapitels ber den Buddhismus in Tibet Klarheit geschaffen werden. Dieser Teil ist in die Unterkapitel Die Entwicklung der buddhistischen Religion in Tibet," Die Institution des Dalai Lama" und Die religi se Praxis" untergliedert. Schlie lich folgt eine kurze Analyse der Frage Was ist brig g |

Tibet, Tibet: A Personal History of a Lost Land $17.33 At different times in its history Tibet has been renowned for pacifism and martial prowess, enlightenment and cruelty. The Dalai Lama may be the only religious leader who can inspire the devotion of agnostics. Patrick French has been fascinated by Tibet since he was a teenager. He has read its history, agitated for its freedom, and risked arrest to travel through its remote interior. His love and knowledge inform every page of this learned, literate, and impassioned book. Talking with nomads and Buddhist nuns, exiles and collaborators, French portrays a nation demoralized by a half-century of Chinese occupation and forced to depend on the patronage of Western dilettantes. He demolishes many of the myths accruing to Tibet–including those centering around the radiant figure of the Dalai Lama. Combining the best of history, travel writing, and memoir, Tibet, Tibet is a work of extraordinary power and insight. |

The Struggle for Tibet $13.83 China’s decades-long repression of Tibetan independence continues on as its global economic power continues to grow. In response to the former and despite the latter, the independence movement persists, represented here through the voices of Wang Lixiong and Tsering Shakya. Born into the repressive one-party regime, both writers now seek for Tibetan cultural and political autonomy, and although each writer theorizes this goal differently, both are in agreement about what must now be done. The result is this milestone exchange. While Wang suggests the complicity of a fear-stricken religion in perpetuating Chinese imperialist rule, Shakya interprets recent Tibetan history as a history of colonialism, against which the independence movement struggles for autonomous rule. These differing and sometimes opposing lines of thought finally climax in the present struggle for independence, ending upon a joint statement regarding Tibet’s future: true autonomy is the only way. |

Art of Tibet $14 With the spread of Buddhism among Westerners and the controversy over its status, interest in Tibet has never been greater. This mysterious land, now a province of the People’s Republic of China, has produced some of the most fascinating and creative art in the world. From silk embroidery and textiles to painting, sculpture, and manuscripts, Tibetan art has striking qualities that set it apart from other Buddhist and Asian art. Robert Fisher takes the reader through the history of Tibetan art, starting from its origins in the early days of the Tibetan kingdom. From a bleak and often inaccessible landscape arose a religious and artistic world so vibrant and sophisticated that even China’s emperors commissioned works. The art and spiritual life of the region are inextricably intertwined, and Dr. Fisher explores the distinctive character of that relationship. Careful attention is also given to ritual objects, which comprise some of the most important works of art in Tibetan culture. |

Tibet: Writings on History and Politics $50.87 Drawing from a wide range of scholarship from mid-nineteenth to early twentieth century, this book looks at the history and politics of Tibet from a fresh perspective. Addressing the current debates on Tibet with intense academic rigour, Parshotam Mehra is able to focus on the issues of autonomy, the exodus of Tibetan refugees both to India and across the globe, human rights, and India’s role vis-a-vis Tibet. He juxtaposes contemporary literature on Tibet against analyses of its history and politics and examines both the institutions of the Dalai Lama and Panchen Lama as well as Tibet’s ties with Imperial China, Communist China, the former British rulers of India, and the Tsars of Russia. In doing so, Mehra uncovers the various complexities of the current debates on Tibet. This volume is crucial as it boldly takes up the question of Tibetan sovereignty and the possible direction of conflict resolution in this disputed land. |

The Tibet-China Conflict: History and Polemics $10.99 The status of Tibet has been at the core of the Tibet-China conflict for all parties drawn into it over the past century. China maintains that Tibet is an integral part of China, while Tibetans maintain that Tibet has historically been an independent country. In reality the conflict over Tibet’s status has been a conflict over history. When Chinese writers and political figures assert that Tibet is a part of China, they do so on the basis of history. The People’s Republic of China has pointedly accused the Dalai Lama of duplicity, stating that his unwillingness to recognize that Tibet has been an integral part of China for centuries renders his attempts to compromise on the Tibet issue unacceptable. The centrality of history in the question of Tibet’s status could not be made clearer. This paper is a guide to the historical arguments made by the primary parties to the Tibet-China conflict. It draws on the key assertions about the issue as they have been framed in Chinese and Tibetan to examine the extent to which positions on the Tibet issue that are thought to reflect centuries of popular consensus are actually very recent constructions, often at variance with the history on which they claim to be based. |
