An overview of Tibet from its origin to the present day. With maps and charts. The chapters include:
The formation of the natural environment of Tibet; the origin of the Tibetan ethnic group; the multi-ethnic development of Tibet; the close relationship between Tibet and the Central Plains in Chinese history; the powerful influence of the culture of the Central Plains on Tibet’s politics, economy, culture and religion; the formation of the various schools of Tibetan Buddhism and the merging of Tibet into China during the Yuan dynasty; the administration of Tibet under the Ming and Qing dynasties and the Republic of China; the Tibetan people’s “heroic struggle against imperialism and feudalism”; “peaceful liberation and democratic reform”; the realization of ethnic regional autonomy; and, the building of socialism in Tibet.
Buddhist Tibet accepts and treats India as the land of Gurus and the people of Tibet feel themselves as disciples. This is because of the message and teachings of Gautam Buddha propagated by Indian philosophers like Sakya Muni, Buddha, Nagarjuna and Padma Sambhav etc. Since long, Tibetans have been custodians of the Buddha's teachings. These have been analyzed, refined, experienced and assimilated as Tibetan culture. Re-incarnation is the central theme of this book and is a treasure trove of bibliography for students or scholars interested in further studies or research into the Dalai Lama system or reincarnation. Every living being is are-incarnation.
