  • VEIL of KASHMIR Poetry of Travel and Travail in Zhangzhungpa’S 15Th-Century Kāvya Reworking of the Biography of the Great Translator Rinchen Zangpo (958- 1055 CE)
    VEIL OF KASHMIR Poetry of Travel and Travail in Zhangzhungpa’s 15th-Century Kāvya Reworking of the Biography of the Great Translator Rinchen Zangpo (958- 1055 CE) by Dan Martin n November of 1987, I visited Samten G. Karmay at his office, then on Rue du Président Wilson in Paris. With over twenty I years’ distance, and indeed that many years older, it is difficult to recall exactly what words were spoken during that meeting. As you get older you tend to look back on your past and identify particular turning points, discerning paths both taken and not taken. You are forced to become a historian of your own life. Suspended as I was in a veritable bardo between the incipient stages of that dreaded academic disease known as dissertationitis at a North American university and my second and longest sojourn in South Asia, I do not believe I was aware at the time just how important this meeting would be for setting me steadily on a course of research into 11th- and 12th-century Tibetan history, and especially the history of the Bon religion. In a word, it was inspirational. In 1996, the last week of June, I attended a conference in the Spiti valley, quite near the border with Tibet, in Himachal Pradesh. It was a very long and tiring but eventful three-day bus trip from Delhi via Simla and Kinnaur. This conference was intended as a millennial cele- bration for Tabo Monastery’s founding by Rinchen Zangpo in 996 CE. So needless to say, many of the papers were devoted to the Great Translator.

  • Researching and Documenting Early Buddhist Architecture in Spiti
    Measure for Measure: Researching and Documenting Early Buddhist Architecture in Spiti Carmen Elisabeth Auer (Graz University of Technology) Introduction he architectural research presented in this article offers T insights for other scientific disciplines such as Art History and Buddhist Studies. Since literary descriptions and visual documentation are often rare, the buildings themselves remain the most reliable sources of information. Edifices dating to the early stage of Buddhist architecture are, however, increasingly exposed to alterations, or, in the worst case, are under threat from factors such as tourism, social changes, improper restoration work, natural disasters, and climate change. Due to these pressing forces, the architectural study of sacred buildings must take place in situ during extensive fieldwork. Once in the field, it is crucial to collect sufficient empirical data about different types of buildings. Developing a typology of Buddhist monuments requires taking into account the greatest number of examples, using the most accurate measuring methods and techniques. Ultimately, an exhaustive documentation allows an analysis of these edifices as well as their evolution over time. For the last 15 years, Holger Neuwirth has conducted several research projects on the Buddhist Architecture of the Western Himalayas with different teams from the Graz University of Technology, thanks to the financial support of the Austrian Science Fund. These projects focused on edifices belonging to the Kingdom of Purang-Guge, which once extended over much of West Tibet, Ladakh, and parts of today’s Himachal Pradesh, between the tenth and seventeenth centuries. The number of buildings that have so far been documented exceeds fifty-seven at eighteen different locations.

  • The Tibetan Translation of the Indian Buddhist Epistemological Corpus
    187 The Tibetan Translation of the Indian Buddhist Epistemological Corpus Pascale Hugon* As Buddhism was transmitted to Tibet, a huge number of texts were translated from Sanskrit, Chinese and other Asian languages into Tibetan. Epistemological treatises composed by In­ dian Buddhist scholars – works focusing on the nature of »valid cognition« and exploring peripheral issues of philosophy of mind, logic, and language – were, from the very beginning, part of the translated corpus, and had a profound impact on Tibetan intellectual history. This paper looks into the progression of the translation of such works in the two phases of the diffusion of Buddhism to Tibet – the early phase in the seventh to the ninth centuries and the later phase starting in the late tenth century – on the basis of lists of translated works in various catalogues compiled in these two phases and the contents of the section »epistemo­ logy« of canonical collections (Tenjur). The paper inquires into the prerogatives that directed the choice of works that were translated, the broader or narrower diffusion of existing trans­ lations, and also highlights preferences regarding which works were studied in particular contexts. I consider in particular the contribution of the famous »Great translator«, Ngok Loden Shérap (rngog blo ldan shes rab, 1059­1109), who was also a pioneer exegete, and discuss some of the practicalities and methodology in the translation process, touching on the question of terminology and translation style. The paper also reflects on the status of translated works as authentic sources by proxy, and correlatively, on the impact of mistaken translations and the strategies developed to avoid them.

  • Buddhist Traditional Ethics: a Source of Sustainable Biodiversity Examining Cases Amongst Buddhist Communities of Nepal, Leh- Ladakh and North-East Region of India
    Buddhist Traditional Ethics: A Source of Sustainable Biodiversity Examining cases amongst Buddhist communities of Nepal, Leh- Ladakh and North-East Region of India Dr. Anand Singh SAARC/CC/Research Grant 13-14 (24 September, 2014) Acknowledgement The opportunity to get this project is one of the important turning points in my academic pursuits. It increased my hunger to learn Buddhism and engage its tradition in social spectrum. Though the project is a symbolical presentation of Buddhist cultural and ethical values existing in Ladakh, Lumbini and Tawang. But it gives wide scope, specially me to learn, identify and explore more about these societies. My several visits in Ladakh has provided me plethora of knowledge and material to continue my research to produce a well explored monograph on Ladakh. I wish that I would be able to complete it in near future. I do acknowledge that report gives only peripheral knowledge about the theme of the project. It is dominantly oriented to Himalayan ranges of Ladakh. But in such short time, it was not possible to go for deep researches on these perspectives. However I have tried to keep my ideas original and tried for new orientation to early researches on topic. In future these ideas will be further elaborated and published. I take this opportunity for recording my heartiest thanks to SAARC Cultural Centre for granting me fellowship and giving me opportunity to explore new, traditional but still relevant and useful ideas related to traditional knowledge of Buddhism. My grateful thanks to Dr. Sanjay Garg, Deputy Director (Research), SAARC Cultural Centre for always giving new and innovative ideas for research.

  • The Spiti Valley Recovering the Past & Exploring the Present OXFORD
    The Spiti Valley Recovering the Past & Exploring the Present Wolfson College 6 t h -7 t h May, 2016 OXFORD Welcome I am pleased to welcome you to the first International Conference on Spiti, which is being held at the Leonard Wolfson Auditorium on May 6 th and 7 th , 2016. The Spiti Valley is a remote Buddhist enclave in the Indian Himalayas. It is situated on the borders of the Tibetan world with which it shares strong cultural and historical ties. Often under-represented on both domestic and international levels, scholarly research on this subject – all disciplines taken together – has significantly increased over the past decade. The conference aims at bringing together researchers currently engaged in a dialogue with past and present issues pertaining to Spitian culture and society in all its aspects. It is designed to encourage interdisciplinary exchanges in order to explore new avenues and pave the way for future research. There are seven different panels that address the theme of this year’s conference, The Spiti Valley : Recovering the Past and Exploring the Present , from a variety of different disciplinary perspectives including, archaeology, history, linguistics, anthropology, architecture, and art conservation. I look forward to the exchange of ideas and intellectual debates that will develop over these two days. On this year’s edition, we are very pleased to have Professor Deborah Klimburg-Salter from the universities of Vienna and Harvard as our keynote speaker. Professor Klimburg-Salter will give us a keynote lecture entitled Through the black light - new technology opens a window on the 10th century .

  • THE EARLY BUDDHIST HERITAGE of LADAKH RECONSIDERED CHRISTIAN LUCZANITS Much Ofwhat Is Generally Considered to Represent the Earl
    THE EARLY BUDDHIST HERITAGE OF LADAKH RECONSIDERED CHRISTIAN LUCZANITS Much ofwhat is generally considered to represent the earliest heritage of Ladakh cannot be securely dated. It even cannot be said with certainty when Buddhism reached Ladakh. Similarly, much ofwhat is recorded in inscriptions and texts concerning the period preceding the establishment of the Ladakhi kingdom in the late 151h century is either fragmentary or legendary. Thus, only a comparative study of these records together 'with the architectural and artistic heritage can provide more secure glimpses into the early history of Buddhism in Ladakh. This study outlines the most crucial historical issues and questions from the point of view of an art historian and archaeologist, drawing on a selection of exemplary monuments and o~jects, the historical value of which has in many instances yet to be exploited. vVithout aiming to be so comprehensive, the article updates the ground­ breaking work of A.H. Francke (particularly 1914, 1926) and Snellgrove & Skorupski (1977, 1980) regarding the early Buddhist cultural heritage of the central region of Ladakh on the basis that the Alchi group of monuments l has to be attributed to the late 12 and early 13 th centuries AD rather than the 11 th or 12 th centuries as previously assumed (Goepper 1990). It also collects support for the new attribution published by different authors since Goepper's primary article. The nmv fairly secure attribution of the Alchi group of monuments shifts the dates by only one century} but has wide repercussions on I This term refers to the early monuments of Alchi, rvIangyu and Sumda, which are located in a narrow geographic area, have a common social, cultural and artistic background, and may be attIibuted to within a relatively narrow timeframe.

  • A Report on Rumtek Monastery - Sikkim
    Dated: 24-5-1997 Dear Shri I had sent a brief report to you on the Rumtek situation on 18.12.96. Taking into account recent developments I have carried out a more detailed assessment outlining possible options before us. I am sending herewith this assessment for your kind perusal. I am endorsing copies of this both to the DIB and the Chairman, JIC, with whom I have discussed this matter. Yours sincerely, Sd/- (K. Shreedhar Rao) Shri T.S.R. Subramanian, Cabinet Secretary, Government of India , New Delhi A REPORT ON RUMTEK MONASTERY - SIKKIM The controversy regarding the reincarnation of the seventeenth Gyalwa Karmapa has been persisting ever since 1992. Recently, the arrival of the Karmapa, recognised by the Shamar Rinpoche faction, in Kalimpong (Darjeeling District) has caused considerable apprehension among the members of the Joint Action Committee in Sikkim who have been advocating the cause of the Karmapa reincarnation in Tibet, recognised by the Tai Situ Rinpoche group. There are reports to indicate that the Joint Action Committee is planning to send a delegation to Tibet in an effort to bring the Karmapa incarnate from Tibet to Rumtek. This group is being supported by Lamas not only from the Rumtek Monastery but also reportedly by Lamas from Phudong, Ralang, and even Pemayangtse monastery even though the Pemayangtse monastery does not belong to the Karmapa sect. These developments have made it necessaary to comphrehensively assess the matter in order to develop a suitable strategy to deal with the emerging situation. Tilogaard's website: K. Shreedhar Rao's report on Rumtek www.tilogaard.dk 1 GENESIS OF THE PROBLEM On the demise of the sixteenth Karmapa in 1981, the affairs of the Rumtek monastery were managed by four regents, namely, Tai Situ Rinpoche, Jamgon Kongtrul Rinpoche, Tsurpu Gyaltsab Rinpoche and Shamar Rinpoche.
