Harvard University Press Being a Buddhist Nun
Book SynopsisThis book is the first ethnography of Tibetan Buddhist society from the perspective of its nuns. Gutschow lived for over three years among them, collecting their stories, observing them, and studying their lives. This picture of the little known culture provides valuable insight into the relationship between women and religion in South Asia today.Trade ReviewSolidly based on over a decade of fieldwork, Gutschow successfully dispels a number of stereotypical misconceptions about Buddhist monasticism in general and Buddhist nuns more specifically. She places monasticism in its necessary political and economic spheres, while not ignoring the pragmatic aspects of lived Buddhism. Being a Buddhist Nun transports women and nuns from their marginal peripheral position in Buddhist history to its ideological center. -- Frank J. Korom, Boston UniversityA brilliant analysis, beautifully written, of Buddhism as never before portrayed. Privileging popular practices and local informants over textual expertise, Gutschow takes us right into the heart of the contradictions between Buddhist doctrine and practice, showing the mechanisms that reinstate the very social hierarchies and injustices that the Buddha disdained. The book is a tour de force, a bold and courageous analysis that will change the field of Buddhist studies forever. A truly enlightening and extraordinary book. -- Unni Wikan, University of OsloBeing a Buddhist Nun is a persuasive and moving combination of vivid writing and sophisticated scholarship. The lived experience is wonderfully captured in both verbal and visual thick descriptions of foods, tasks, conversations, all the evocative phenomena of the everyday, while the book raises questions that are significant far beyond the Himalayas, ranging from the usual questions of gender--Why Cannot Nuns Be Monks?--for which Kim Gutschow offers new answers, to the not-so-usual questions of celibacy, in which she sees newly relevant values. -- Wendy Doniger, Mircea Eliade Professor of the History of Religions, University of ChicagoIn many religions, such as Christianity, Judaism, and Hinduism, women are considered spiritually inferior to men and often suffer inequitable treatment in the wider society. Buddhism, with its highly egalitarian doctrine, is often perceived as being different. Gutschow shows that in this regard we have mistakenly focused on ideals rather than on actual practices. -- James F. DeRoche * Library Journal *The inescapable struggle of being a woman in a patriarchal system is the heart of Gutschow's work and permeates her further discussions, including ideologies of purity and pollution and Tantric approaches to the question of female enlightenment...Gutschow's analysis is penetrating, and her supporting anecdotes are often vivid and effective. Her work reveals that the reality of Himalayan Buddhist monasticism, far from being Shangri-La, is thoroughly rooted in the very foibles of the world it professes to renounce. * Publishers Weekly *Based on [Gutschow's] observations and research in Zangskar, the book describes a rigid hierarchy in which monks rule, enjoying power and prestige and conducting important ceremonies and rituals, such as blessing households and construction sites in their villages. Nuns, who must defer to monks and sit behind them at formal gatherings, are relegated to menial tasks, such as collecting the dung and sticks that the entire community will burn for fuel during the region's harsh winters. -- Anne Stuart * Harvard Magazine *Being a Buddhist Nun is a valuable account of the life of nuns in the Himalayan valley of Zanskar, a region of Ladakh in north-west India. The work is driven by a deep sense of injustice and a compelling focus on a remote society still medieval in character...[Gutschow] present[s] an unrivalled account of monastic economy and social anthropology in Ladakh. Her text is full of 'thick' description, delightful anecdotes, biographies of courageous and not so courageous nuns, as well as accounts of the personal joys and sufferings of individuals. Although she focuses on the often lamentable ways in which nuns suffer discrimination, she is not unduly disrespectful of the monastic system to which they belong; rather she subjects it to a prolonged and penetrating examination and interpretation. -- John Crook * Times Literary Supplement *

Duke University Press My Tibetan Childhood
Book SynopsisA bestseller in Tibet until it was banned by China, this moving memoir chronicles Naktsang Nulo’s childhood in Tibet’s Amdo region during the uprising against the Chinese invasion of the 1950s.Trade Review"Some books lure us into new lives and unexpected worlds. Here, the person is the author himself, Naktsang Nulo. . . . There is no other such an apolitical book, known to me, by a Tibetan living and working in Tibet. . . .Neither the Chinese nor the Tibetan diaspora will be able to claim that Naktsang’s memoir accords with their conflicting views of the nature of Tibet and its people – although official Chinese will dislike it more because it makes plain the cruelty of their soldiers during the later Fifties." -- Jonathan Mirsky * High Peaks Pure Earth *“This unconventional memoir is a literary as well as historical treasure.” -- Andrew J. Nathan * Foreign Affairs *“In this contested territory a voice such as that of Naktsang Nulo, author of My Tibetan Childhood, is extremely rare. . . . Naktsang’s is a shattering story, the only published account of the experience of ordinary families during the Chinese assertion of control in Amdo, or of the nomads’ doomed resistance against an overwhelming force of PLA regulars.” -- Isabel Hilton * London Review of Books *“I can’t tell you how refreshing this book is. Religious life writing certainly has its own beauty, but it is really nice to read an autobiography that depicts the actions and concerns of people who are not elite religious practitioners. … So who should read this book? I’d say pretty much everyone interested in Tibet. It is obviously valuable for those interested in the history of twentieth century Sino-Tibetan conflict, but also gives important insight into pre-communist nomadic life.” -- Geoff Barstow * Lost Yak *"The book carries the reader along on a huge tidal wave of emotion. The beauty of the landscape, the compassion and love between individuals, and the cruelty and violence of daily life, combined with the high adventure of travel and escape, make this at times a real page-turner as well as a significant breakthrough in our understanding of the history of Amdo." -- Wendy Palace * Asian Affairs *"With the publication of My Tibetan Childhood, this little known history is now available to a far wider audience. Anyone interested in modern Tibetan or Chinese history—scholars, students, and the general public alike—should be grateful." -- Benno Ryan Weiner * Pacific Affairs *"This is an extraordinary book for the history it tells, made even more so by the fact that it was published originally in China. Naktsang Nulo . . . traces the first dozen years of his life, full of both joy and horror, in a riveting, matter-of-fact style without recriminations or judgments, making this autobiography all the more powerful." -- A.

Cornell University Press Spacious Minds
Book SynopsisSpacious Minds argues that resilience is not a mere absence of suffering. Sara E. Lewis''s research reveals how those who cope most gracefully may indeed experience deep pain and loss. Looking at the Tibetan diaspora, she challenges perspectives that liken resilience to the hardiness of physical materials, suggesting people should bounce back from adversity. More broadly, this ethnography calls into question the tendency to use trauma as an organizing principle for all studies of conflict where suffering is understood as an individual problem rooted in psychiatric illness.Beyond simply articulating the ways that Tibetan categories of distress are different from biomedical ones, Spacious Minds shows how Tibetan Buddhism frames new possibilities for understanding resilience. Here, the social and religious landscape encourages those exposed to violence to see past events as impermanent and illusory, where debriefing, working-through, or processing past events only Trade ReviewLewis' expertise in both Western and Tibetan approaches to trauma and resilience could not be more needed at this time, and Spacious Minds distills her expertise in a manner that is scholarly, engaging, and accessible to lay readers, clinicians, and academics alike. Her work is a profound reminder that there is no one right way to understand or experience trauma, nor one right way to recover from it. * Buddhadharma *Sara E. Lewis's Spacious Minds is an important and engaging work for those interested in cross-cultural psychology and well-being, anthropology, diaspora studies, those seeking a better understanding of the complexities designing public and mental health interventions, and all who seek to understand 'sociocultural practices that bolster communities under duress.' * Medical Antrhopology Quarterly *Spacious Minds thus offers a brilliant illustration of how the anthropological study of the mind provides an innovative avenue to illuminate and engage with the very material world of policy, politics and power. * Anthropology in Action *Table of ContentsAcknowledgments List of Abbreviations Note on Transliteration Central Characters Introduction 1.

Cornell University Press The Chinese Revolution on the Tibetan Frontier
Book SynopsisIn The Chinese Revolution on the Tibetan Frontier, Benno Weiner provides the first in-depth study of an ethnic minority region during the first decade of the People''s Republic of China: the Amdo region in the Sino-Tibetan borderland. Employing previously inaccessible local archives as well as other rare primary sources, he demonstrates that the Communist Party''s goal in 1950s Amdo was not just state-building but also nation-building. Such an objective required the construction of narratives and policies capable of convincing Tibetans of their membership in a wider political community.As Weiner shows, however, early efforts to gradually and organically transform a vast multiethnic empire into a singular nation-state lost out to a revolutionary impatience, demanding more immediate paths to national integration and socialist transformation. This led in 1958 to communization, then to large-scale rebellion and its brutal pacification.

Taylor & Francis Self Reality and Reason in Tibetan Philosophy
Book SynopsisThe work explores the historical and intellectual context of Tsongkhapa''s philosophy and addresses the critical issues related to questions of development and originality in Tsongkhapa''s thought. It also deals extensively with one of Tsongkhapa''s primary concerns, namely his attempts to demonstrate that the Middle Way philosophy''s deconstructive analysis does not negate the reality of the everyday world. The study''s central focus, however, is the question of the existence and the nature of self. This is explored both in terms of Tsongkhapa''s deconstruction of the self and his reconstruction of person. Finally, the work explores the concept of reality that emerges in Tsongkhapa''s philosophy, and deals with his understanding of the relationship between critical reasoning, no-self, and religious experience.Table of ContentsChapter 1 Introduction; Chapter 2 Context and Methodological Issues; Chapter 3 Delineating the Parameters of Madhyamaka Reasoning; Chapter 4 Tsongkhapa's Deconstruction of the Self; Chapter 5 Personal Identity, Continuity, and the I-consciousness; Chapter 6 No-Self, Truth, and the Middle Way; Chapter 7 Conclusion;
