Dissertation Advisor: Janet Gyatso Catherine Anne Hartmann To See a Mountain: Writing, Place, and Vision in Tibetan Pilgrimage Literature Abstract Buddhist thought diagnoses human suffering as the result of a fundamental misperception of reality. As such, Buddhists have developed practices that aim to replace or improve ordinary ways of seeing the world. In Tibet, one such practice is pilgrimage to holy mountains. This dissertation explores this application of the Buddhist project to restructure perceptual experience. Tibetan pilgrimage is structured around the idea that the holy mountain is actually a wondrous palace for an enlightened deity. Of course, most people do not typically see it in that way, but the goal for pilgrims is to learn to see the mountain as a sacred palace through the transformation of their perception. This project asks how Tibetan texts attempted to transform perception, and explores the role of poetic language, as well as the physical landscape itself, in doing so.

  • Biographies of Dzogchen Masters ~
    ~ Biographies of Dzogchen Masters ~ Jigme Lingpa: A Guide to His Works It is hard to overstate the importance of Jigme Lingpa to the Nyingma tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. This itinerant yogi, along with Rongzom Mahapandita, Longchenpa, and-later-Mipham Rinpoche, are like four pillars of the tradition. He is considered the incarnation of both the great master Vimalamitra and the Dharma king Trisong Detsen. After becoming a monk, he had a vision of Mañjuśrīmitra which caused him to change his monks robes for the white shawl and long hair of a yogi. In his late twenties, he began a long retreat during which he experienced visions and discovered termas. A subsequent retreat a few years later was the ​ ​ container for multiple visions of Longchenpa, the result of which was the Longchen Nyingthig tradition of terma texts, sadhanas, prayers, and instructions. What many consider the best source for understanding Jigme Lingpa's relevance, and his milieu is Tulku Thondup Rinpoche's Masters of ​ Meditation and Miracles: Lives of the Great Buddhist Masters of India and Tibet. While the biographical coverage of him only comprises ​ about 18 pages, this work provides the clearest scope of the overall world of Jigme Lingpa, his line of incarnations, and the tradition and branches of teachings that stem from him. Here is Tulku Thondup Rinpoche's account of his revelation of the Longchen Nyingtik. ​ ​ "At twenty-eight, he discovered the extraordinary revelation of the Longchen Nyingthig cycle, the teachings of the Dharmakāya ​ and Guru Rinpoche, as mind ter. In the evening of the ​ ​ twenty-fifth day of the tenth month of the Fire Ox year of the thirteenth Rabjung cycle (1757), he went to bed with an unbearable devotion to Guru Rinpoche in his heart; a stream of tears of sadness continuously wet his face because he was not 1 in Guru Rinpoche's presence, and unceasing words of prayers kept singing in his breath.

  • Tibet Extension
    Tibet extension from Kathmandu 2019 Tibet SU - A visit to Tibet offers an exciting extension to your holiday in the Himalaya, and regular flights to Lhasa from Kathmandu make it possible to visit most of the major sights in and around Lhasa on an 8 day itinerary. Tibet’s high plateau offers totally different and starker scenery to that of the other Himalayan countries. Here you will see some of the most important historical and cultural sites of Tibetan Buddhism – the Potala Palace and Samye, Ganden and Drepung Monasteries.

The embassy will need your passport for 2-3 nights after which it will be returned to you by our agents. You will then be able to fly to Lhasa the next day. The embassy is only open on weekdays and the flight to Lhasa is generally in the early morning – both of these factors affect how long you will need to spend in Kathmandu. You therefore need to let us know in good time if you wish to take this extension. SUGGESTED ITINERARY sion Option Day 1 – Fly to Gonggar. Drive to Tsedang, 3,550m/11,647ft. You will be picked up from your Kathmandu hotel and transferred to the airport for the flight to Gonggar in Tibet where you meet your Tibetan guide and driver.
