Welcome Message from the President

A striking feature of the densely-packed programme of this seminar is the number of panels that now have free-standing conferences dedicated to their themes: , Old Tibet, Anthropology, Medicine and Linguistics to name just some of them. In view of the diversification of the field and the great success of its offshoots, a number of colleagues have very reasonably raised the question of why we need a seminar of the IATS at all. Tibet is now vaster than it ever was, and in time the idea of a conference of Tibetan Studies tout court may seem as quaint as the concept of the now-obsolete (or rather, renamed) International Congress of Orientalists does to us today.

But for the time being, at least, we still have a forum in which a philologist, an art historian and a political scientist from any of more than forty countries can sit together and barter thirteen centuries-worth of professional stock-in-trade and still feel they all did well out of the exchange. Perhaps Tibetan Studies will one day become a casualty of its own success, and fragment into a diaspora of subdisciplines from which scholars will look back at us with the bemusement we now reserve for those clustered Orientalists; but they’ll never know what they missed.

It gives me very great pleasure to welcome you to the Twelfth Seminar of the International Association for Tibetan Studies!

Page | 9 The Institute of Asian Research

The Institute of Asian Research (IAR) provides innovative perspectives on policy research on Asia. It focuses on the generation of interdisciplinary knowledge about the different regions of Asia, and on the integration of local knowledge to form new perspectives on contemporary policies. As a leading research institute focused on contemporary Asia, IAR serves as a focal point at The University of British Columbia for some of the top scholars in their disciplines to collaborate with leading regional specialists on cutting edge policy research. It also serves as a unique centre for policy consultation and a training ground for senior policy makers interested in Asia.

IAR offers the Master of Arts - Asia Pacific Policy Studies, the first and foremost graduate program in Asia Pacific policy in Canada. IAR also offers the Summer Institute Program, unique in North America for its intensive training curriculum on operational challenges, problem solving, and decision-making in China. The Institute provides public seminars, lectures, and workshops through its five Centres and various research programs and projects such as the Asia Pacific Business and Economic Policy Research Unit, Asia Pacific Dispute Resolution Project, Program on Buddhism and Contemporary Society, Contemporary Tibetan Studies Program, and Program on Inner Asia. Through its various community outreach activities, the Institute provides a window on Asia fostering cultural exchanges, understanding and dialogue among communities of the Asia Pacific. Future directions at IAR will include important initiatives in collaborative research and teaching with colleagues across the UBC community. IAR’s participation in explorations regarding Asian art and contemporary policy issues in areas of health and human rights will see important initiatives over the next few years. IAR scholars will continue to offer policy advice and support to a range of public sector institutions in Vancouver, Ottawa and the world.

HIMALAYAN WALK By: Jeanet Snijders

The video HIMALAYAN WALK is focused on the experience of walking in a natural environment and the consequently evolving awareness of being part of a landscape. Through the repeated sequence of images of a walking and prostrating woman - larger than the landscape and vaguely dissipating into it - and the monotonous sound of the wind, a kind of meditative state is being evoked. The viewer is being taken along on a continuous, contemplative journey without destination. Certain aspects of inspire some of the woman’s movements: the prostrating ritual performed by pilgrims; and the hand reaching down from the sky, followed by the body, climbing down from the sky to the earth (in the very first scene), is derived from the legend of the first kings in early Tibet who reportedly descended from the sky by a rope (dmu-thag). Other images, like the ocean waves, refer to Tibetan history: The Himalayan plateau used to be the bottom of a primordial ocean.

Jeanet Snijders (1964), filmmaker and graphic artist, uses her experiences and visual information, gathered during many journeys through the Himalayan region, for the realisation of artistic installations. She has showed her work at Arti et Amicitiae in Amsterdam, Museum Kunst Palast in Dusseldorf, at the International Festival of Cinema and Technology in Los Angeles and Seattle, and at the Ostrale in Dresden and elsewhere.

The film lasts about 12 minutes and is shown with a loop.

Idea and Art-production: Jeanet Snijders Editing and Sound: Jurgen Meekel and Jeanet Snijders Actress: Judith Heinsohn

Between the Lines: Exorcising the Old Year in a Himalayan Bonpo Village A film by Charles Ramble and Kemi Tsewang

When: Tuesday August 17th, 2010 Where: Frederic Wood Theatre Time: 7:30 pm

Ceremonies for the annual purification of villages and monasteries are a common feature of the Tibetan cultural world. Known as Gutor (dgu gtor) or Dögyab (mdos rgyab), these events appear in the ritual calendars of Buddhist and Bonpo communities alike. Between the lines is about the Dögyab of Lubrak, a small Bonpo settlement in Nepal’s Mustang District. Founded in the twelfth century by a scion of the famous Yangal clan (which later went on to establish monasteries in Dolpo), Lubrak is inhabited by families of hereditary priestly (bla mchod) “caste”, who perform a score of rituals in the village temple in the course of the year. The liturgy of the Dögyab is based on the cycle of the yi dam Khro-bo gtso-mchog mkha’-’gying, and the rubric of the ritual will be recognisable to anyone familiar with Tibetan tantric ceremonial. But the Lubrak Dögyab has some strikingly distinctive features. Before the ceremony, the lamas are divided – by a roster system and by dice-throws – into “monastic” and “lay” components, in which the latter play the role of patrons and, in one episode, the autochthonous genii loci who were subjugated by the founder lama. The interaction between the two groups oscillates between conflict – including a symbolic wrestling match – and integration, as in the requirement that the “patrons” join the ’cham dancers, brandishing their cooking utensils as sacred attributes (phyag mtshan). The dynamic of the opposition is enriched by the prominent role of the women throughout the event, in a complex triangular interaction in which the currency consists of games, meta-rituals, songs and the arcana of chang and food. The commentary to the film is provided by the Lubrakpas themselves, who explain to the viewer the significance of each of the episodes they are about to witness.

Transportation Departure

Public Transit (To YVR Airport): There is no direct bus service to YVR Airport from UBC, but there are a variety of easy options involving only one transfer. Approximate travel time = 1 hour. For more information see http://www.translink.ca

Take an Eastbound bus from the UBC Bus Loop (across from Gage Towers and Westcoast Suites): #99 B-line (Express Bus); Get off at Broadway and Cambie, transfer to Canada Line #84 (Express Bus); Get off at 2nd and Cambie, transfer to Canada Line #43 (Express Bus); Get off at 41st and Cambie, transfer to Canada Line

Each of these buses will take you to a intersecting stop with Cambie St, along which the Canada Line runs North to South. To take the Canada Line Skytrain from a Cambie St. stop, you must go Eastbound and get on the YVR train, not the Bridgeport train. You will be going the opposite direction from ‘Waterfront Station.’ First train at 5:10am, last train at 12:57am. Canada Line runs about every 4 to 10 minutes depending on time of day.

Cost: With Vancouver Transit, fares are according to zones. To get from UBC to YVR you will need a 2 zone ticket. Each ticket is valid for 90 minutes, so you will only need one/ person. You can use same ticket to ride both the Bus and Skytrain. A two zone ticket will cost $3.75 CAD (Note, when you arrived a $5 Airport surcharge for outgoing trips from the airport was added (total $8.75)).

Taxi/Cab (to YVR Airport): Please ask your accommodations to call a Taxi for you. Approximate cost will be $30.00 CAD and will take you from 25-35 minutes. Your address while staying at Gage Towers: Walter Gage Towers 5959 Student Union Boulevard Vancouver, BC, Canada, V6T 1K2
