  • Materials of Buddhist Culture: Aesthetics and Cosmopolitanism at Mindroling Monastery
    Materials of Buddhist Culture: Aesthetics and Cosmopolitanism at Mindroling Monastery Dominique Townsend Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2012 © 2012 Dominique Townsend All rights reserved ABSTRACT Materials of Buddhist Culture: Aesthetics and Cosmopolitanism at Mindroling Monastery Dominique Townsend This dissertation investigates the relationships between Buddhism and culture as exemplified at Mindroling Monastery. Focusing on the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, I argue that Mindroling was a seminal religio-cultural institution that played a key role in cultivating the ruling elite class during a critical moment of Tibet’s history. This analysis demonstrates that the connections between Buddhism and high culture have been salient throughout the history of Buddhism, rendering the project relevant to a broad range of fields within Asian Studies and the Study of Religion. As the first extensive Western-language study of Mindroling, this project employs an interdisciplinary methodology combining historical, sociological, cultural and religious studies, and makes use of diverse Tibetan sources. Mindroling was founded in 1676 with ties to Tibet’s nobility and the Fifth Dalai Lama’s newly centralized government. It was a center for elite education until the twentieth century, and in this regard it was comparable to a Western university where young members of the nobility spent two to four years training in the arts and sciences and being shaped for positions of authority. This comparison serves to highlight commonalities between distant and familiar educational models and undercuts the tendency to diminish Tibetan culture to an exoticized imagining of Buddhism as a purely ascetic, world renouncing tradition.

  • Establishing Lineage Legitimacy and Building Labrang Monastery As “The Source of Dharma”: Jikmed Wangpo (1728–1791) Taking the Helm
    religions Article Establishing Lineage Legitimacy and Building Labrang Monastery as “the Source of Dharma”: Jikmed Wangpo (1728–1791) Taking the Helm Rinchen Dorje The Center for Research on Ethnic Minorities in Northwest China, The College of History and Culture, Lanzhou University, Lanzhou 730000, China; [email protected] Abstract: The eighteenth century witnessed the continuity of Geluk growth in Amdo from the preceding century. Geluk inspiration and legacy from Central Tibet and the accompanying political patronage emanating from the Manchus, Mongols, and local Tibetans figured prominently as the engine behind the Geluk influence that swept Amdo. The Geluk rise in the region resulted from contributions made by native Geluk Buddhists. Amdo native monks are, however, rarely treated with as much attention as they deserve for cultivating extensive networks of intellectual transmission, reorienting and shaping the school’s future. I therefore propose that we approach Geluk hegemony and their broad initiatives in the region with respect to the school’s intellectual and cultural order and native Amdo Buddhist monks’ role in shaping Geluk history in Amdo and beyond in Tibet. Such a focus highlights their impact in shaping the trajectory of Geluk history in Tibet and Amdo in particular. The historical and biographical literature dealing with the life of Jikmed Wangpo affords us a rare window into the pivotal time when every effort was made to cultivate a vast network of institutions and masters across Tibet. This further spurred an institutional growth of Citation: Dorje, Rinchen. 2021.

  • Knowledge and Context in Tibetan Medicine REVIEW Takkinen
    Compte-rendu Knowledge and Context in Tibetan Medicine, edited by William McGrath, Brill's Tibetan Studies Library, vol. 43, Brill, 2019, 372 pages. ISBN 978-90-04-40149-5. Jaakko Takkinen (University of California, Santa Barbara) his collection of ten articles emerged in response to desiderata in the study of Tibetan medicine, which called for compre- T hensive contributions to help remedy the relative scarcity of detailed analytical research on Tibetan medical traditions, or Sowa Rigpa (gso ba rig pa).1 Since then, scholars of Tibetan medicine have made great strides to expand on the available interpretative—instead of encyclopedic—knowledge of Sowa Rigpa, and some significant la- cunae, such as the study of the origins and textual history of the Four Tantras (rgyud bzhi), have seen considerable progress.2 The present vol- ume aims to provide critical analysis and contextualization of Tibetan medical knowledge across different historical periods, with the aim to further account for the composite, variegated and dynamic nature of the Tibetan medical tradition (p. viii). To this end, the ten chapters which are derived from the panels on Tibetan medicine at the Four- teenth Seminar of the International Association for Tibetan Studies in Bergen (IATS 2016) provide a rich and multifaceted collection on the history and lived realities of Tibetan medicine, bringing to the fore the complexity, diversity, and extensive scope of the Tibetan medical tra- dition, both past and present. In response to another desideratum suggested by Blezer et al.—a recommendation to juxtapose contemporary historical and anthropo- logical research on Tibetan medicine that accounts for the diverse so- cial, political, and economical contexts where Sowa Rigpa is prac- ticed—the volume also seeks to integrate ethnographic expertise and historical disciplines.
