Description:
Berkeley.: University of California Press.. 1998.. Black and white photographic illustrations, x + 207pp, index, appendix: Spellings of Tibetan names and terms, soiled paperback covers, foxed edges, name half title, a sound copy. Demonstrating how the Buddhist revival in Tibet must contend with tensions between the Chinese state and aspirations for greater Tibetan autonomy, the authors discuss ways that Tibetan Buddhists are restructuring their religion through a process of social, political and economic adaptation., Following the upheavals of the Cultural Revolution, the People's Republic of China gradually permitted the renewal of religious activity.

The nature of that revival is the focus of this book., Four…
