Hardcover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. Contents: Preface. 1. The architecture of Gonpa Gang. 2. Unveiling a unique Nyingma Pantheon: the art of Gonpa Gang. 3. The Lama and the Nuns: A history of Kunzang Choling. Notes. Works cited. In Nepal's Mustang District, on the right bank of the Kali Gandaki river facing the large settlement of Tshug (Chusang), is a low hill known as Gönpa Gang, the "convent ridge." Standing on the ridge are the remains of a Buddhist site, Künzang Chöling. Until recently, nothing was known about the building beyond the fact that it had once been a nunnery, and it is hard now to imagine that a local ruler in the 17th century, awed by its majestic proportions and its exquisite paintings, exclaimed that it was "the jewel in the crown of the realm." This book brings to light a forgotten gem of Nepal's architectural and artistic heritage, while the archives of the community offer a window onto the lives of the lama who built it "as a blessing for the land," and of the nuns for whom it was a centre of spiritual activity for almost three centuries.

We all know the cause of ill-health: germs and viruses; and, of course, genetic propensity. To these we should add: the ripening of recent or ancient karma; predatory demons and witches; adverse astrological configurations; the retaliation of earth-gods angered by humans' callous treatment of the environment; spilling milk on the stove. The afflictions resulting from these various pathogens manifest in physical, mental and social disorders of commensurate diversity and complexity. The treatment is also well known: allopathic care, whether Western, Tibetan or Ayurvedic; or the accumulation of merit to dissipate the burden of karma; or the shamanic hunt for lost souls; or violent exorcism; or any number of remedial techniques that have their home in the expanse of the Himalayan and Tibetan region. These techniques, and the world-views that underpin them, have in turn spawned a vast wealth of art, literature and performance, and no single disciplinary approach can possibly hope to do justice to such an extraordinary range of forms. Accepting that this state of affairs is best addressed not by an attempt at synthesis but a celebration of diversity, sixty specialists of Tibet and the Himalaya were given free rein to write about any aspect of healing in the region, and this book is the result. In addition to offering detailed studies of some of the therapeutic traditions of the region, the collection as a whole opens a window onto the heart of the civilisation that generated or inherited these beliefs and practices, and continues to cherish them.…

Zustand: Sehr gut. Original hardcover with dust jacket, 143 pages, numerous illustrations, very good condition. Monograph about a temple in Mustang, Gompa Kang near Chhuksang. Unusually for Mustang, it belongs to the Nyingma school of Tibetan Buddhism, built at the end of the 17th century. The structure of the temple is currently renovated, with little protection for the artworks, this is therefore a valuable documentation of a true encyclopaedia of Nyingma iconography. Also much about the history of the temple based on unpublished local texts - an incredibly throrough study. Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 550.…

Hardcover. Zustand: New. This volume is the outcome of a collaboration between the European Society for the Study of Central Asian and Himalayan Civilisations (SEECHAC) and the Leipzig-based research project "Buddhist Murals of Kucha on the Northern Silk Road." The conference, with the same title as the present proceedings, was held over the course of three days in November 2021 at the Bibliotheca Albertina in Leipzig. The sixteen articles that make up the collection explore aspects of the concept of landscape in the civilisations of Central Asia and the Himalayas from the perspectives of art history, archaeology, religious studies and anthropology. As the historian Simon Schama reminds us, "landscapes are culture before they are nature; constructs of the imagination projected onto the wood and water and rock." In this volume, landscape is understood in both senses, as the external environment but also, and more often, as the culturally mediated representation of the natural world. To the extent that such creations are constructs of the imagination, the meaning of "landscape" need not be confined to the category of painting that it conventionally designates. Heavenly realms and divine interventions in this world are widely reproduced in murals, scroll paintings and architectural forms, but their depiction is often founded on textual authority, and further perpetuated in secondary writings as well as oral narratives. Most of the papers in this collection explore landscapes that are simultaneously divine and human in that they embrace the this-worldly and the beyond, an extended space of humans, animals and preternatural beings rendered on a variety of supports. The areas covered include Tibet, Dunhuang, the Tangut Empire, Khotan, Ladakh, Sikkim, Gandhara and Mongolia. As the sixth volume in a series dedicated to studies of Kucha, the collection also presents four contributions on the art and archaeology of that remarkable Buddhist oasis.…
