  • The Thirteenth Dalai Lama on Warfare, Weapons, and the Right to Self-Defense
    THE THIRTEENTH DALAI LAMA ON WARFARE, WEAPONS, AND THE RIGHT TO SELF-DEFENSE Federica Venturi I would like to express sincere gratitude to the colleagues and friends who have contributed in various ways to bring this article to completion. The topic of the subject was inspired by a talk given by Dr. Shun Hidaka of Otani University at the XIII Seminar of the IATS in Ulaan Baatar. Gedun Rabsal helped with the translation of the passages that were most cryptic. Frank Drauschke of the historical research institute Facts & Files, in Berlin, provided an advance copy of documents he has collected for his forthcoming publication Who was Who in Tibet. Dr. Alice Travers of the French National Center for Scientific Research helped with the translation of several Tibetan terms identifying weapons. Last but not least, I would like to thank the editor of this volume, Roberto Vitali, assisted by Gedun Rabsal and Nicole Willock, for much patience and collaboration. One of the recurrent themes of Professor Sperling’s lectures on the different aspects of Tibetan history highlighted the existence of mechanisms for sanctioning violence in every religion, including Buddhism. Today this religion is considered the paradigm of a nonviolent and pacifist mindset, particularly in its Tibetan manifestation. Similarly, Tibet’s spiritual leader, the XIV Dalai Lama Tenzin Gyatso, symbolizes the commitment of Tibetan Buddhism to nonviolence, both on account of his Nobel Peace Prize and as a constant champion of the Tibetan cause of “true autonomy” within the People’s Republic of China through ahiṃsā. However, throughout its history, even Tibetan Buddhism has not been immune from the use of violence or warfare, activities that are in conflict with the fundamental Buddhist precept of abstaining from killing any living being.1 Moreover, these activities were both perpetrated and endorsed in various ways by the higher echelons of the Tibetan Buddhist hierarchy.

  • Studies in Turkic and Mongolic Linguistics
    STUDIES IN TURKIC AND MONGOLIC LINGUISTICS This book, now back in print after having been unavailable for many years, is one of the most important contributions to Turkic and Mongolic linguistics, and to the contentious ‘Altaic theory’. Proponents of the theory hold that Turkic is part of the Altaic family, and that Turkic accordingly exists in parallel with Mongolic and Tungusic-Manchu. Whatever the truth of this theory, Sir Gerard Clauson’s erudite and vigorously expressed views, based as they were on a remarkable knowledge of the lexical of the Altaic languages and his outstanding work in the field of Turkish lexicography, continues to command respect and deserve attention. Royal Asiatic Society Books The Royal Asiatic Society was founded in 1823 ‘for the investigation of subjects connected with, and for the encouragement of science, literature and the arts in relation to, Asia’. Informed by these goals, the policy of the Society’s Editorial Board is to make available in appropriate formats the results of original research in the humanities and social sciences having to do with Asia, defined in the broadest geographical and cultural sense and up to the present day.
