  • THE GROUND BENEATH HIS FEET an Artist's Sacred Sojourn In
    THE GROUND BENEATH HIS FEET An Artist’s Sacred Sojourn in Western Tibet Modern life has made us busy every waking hour. The pervasive running out of time has become a sport befitting the strongest of urbanites. Success is measured by the ability to stay on top and we find purpose for our daily existence in the order and accumulation of things, which make us too preoccupied and anxious in the first place1. Then all of a sudden some tragic event with irreversible consequences turns everything on its head and shakes up the security of this hard‐earned status quo at its foundation. The void left in the aftermath creates an opening for a new vision to emerge in the mind’s awareness. It is often a desire for a more peaceful and spiritually focused way of being. The thought of this newfound horizon becomes so overwhelmingly vivid, and the urge to reach it so profound, that one takes in stride to make it a reality—above all else. Such a seismic shift catapulted Arthur Liou in search of something greater than life—he became a pilgrim on a quest. The vision to embark on an epic spiritual and creative journey into the Himalayan Mountains was triggered by the mysterious voice of a Tibetan singer heard in a bookstore in Taiwan. The soulfulness of her voice resonated deeply within his grieving heart, sparking an inner inkling for the distant land it came from. Not long after, a Buddhist monk friend showed him a photograph of Mount Kailash: the image looked astonishingly familiar to him despite having never been to this remote part of the world.

  • Syncretism of Religious Beliefs in Western Himalaya´S Lahoul
    Südasien-Chronik - South Asia Chronicle 9/2019, S. 83-119 © Südasien-Seminar der Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin ISBN: 978-3-86004-343-1 Syncretism of Religious Beliefs in Western Himalayas’s Lahoul LAURA YEREKESHEVA [email protected] KEYWORDS: FUNCTIONS OF RELIGION, LAHOUL, RELIGIOUS SYNCRETISM, CULTS OF MOUNTAINS, STONES, BUDDHISM, HINDUISM 83 The goal of the article is to trace the intermingle and interinfluence between various religious traditions among the tribes of Western Himalayas, particularly, of those living in modern Himachal Pradesh state of India (district Lahoul and Spiti, L&S). The areas in northern India, seemingly marked by either Hinduism, as in southern Himachal Pradesh, or Buddhism, as in northern part of the state (culturally more influenced by Western Tibet and Ladakh), represent the interesting case testifying about the amalgamation and syncretism of these religions with the local, so-called "primordial" beliefs, related to animism, fetishism, shamanism; and between them- selves. The existence and preservation of the syncretic beliefs could help to explain the nature of culture-religion interplay and mechanism of developing by them the respective functions, such as functions of adaptation and pattern maintenance. The author would like to acknowledge help and assistance of so many people met in Shimla and across Himachal Pradesh during the ICCR visiting fellowship at the Indian Institute of Advanced Study in Shimla (India). All of them in various ways contributed towards my discovering the region. The discussions held and travels made enriched FOCUS my knowledge and understanding of Lahoul, its generous people and beautiful traditions. Historiography The Western Himalaya’s region, particularly, the areas comprising modern Himachal Pradesh and Jammu and Kashmir states of India, have always attracted scholars, pilgrims, travellers, administrators, missionaries.

  • From Popular Pilgrimage Festival to State Monastic Performance – the Politics of Cultural Production at Gomphu Kora, East Bhutan
    Mona Schrempf From Popular Pilgrimage Festival to State Monastic Performance – The Politics of Cultural Production at Gomphu Kora, East Bhutan Summary Over the past two decades, the Buddhist pilgrimage site of Gomphu Kora was transformed into a key travel destination in east Bhutan. The annual folk festival there was famous for attracting different ethno-linguistic groups from Bhutan’s far eastern borderland with In- dia. Pilgrims and traders from both sides of the border and local inhabitants were actively involved in social, economic and cultural exchanges including folk song and dance per- formances. This chapter examines recent developments in cultural production at Gomphu Kora, and how an invention of tradition through state tourism orchestrated by the local monastic and lay administration emerged. It looks at how the former folk religious festival was converted into a generic state monastic event that has lost much of its original popular character. Keywords: Pilgrimage; folk festival; monastic dance and state performance; tourism; de- velopment In den letzten beiden Jahrzehnten wurde der buddhistische Pilgerort Gomphu Kora in ei- ne touristische Hauptattraktion im Osten Bhutans transformiert. Das dort jährlich stattfin- dende Volksfest war bekannt dafür, dass es verschiedene ethno-linguistische Gruppen auf beiden Seiten der Landesgrenze zwischen Ost-Bhutan und Indien anzog. Pilger und Händ- ler aus der Grenzregion sowie Ortsansässige waren aktiv durch sozialen, ökonomischen und kulturellen Austausch und an der Aufführung von Volktänzen und -gesängen beteiligt. Die- ses Kapitel untersucht neuere Entwicklungen kultureller Produktion in Gomphu Kora, und wie die Erfindung von Tradition durch staatlichen Tourismus und durch lokale Autoritä- ten des zum Teil klerikalen Verwaltungsapparats orchestriert wurde.
