Synopsis:
A fully illustrated book on Labrang monastery, one of the largest in the Amdo region of Tibet, including photographs taken over a 25 year period prior to the Chinese invasion, that capture and preserve life at this revered Tibetan monastery at its developmental peak.
Labrang is located in the northeast corner of the Tibetan plateau at the strategic intersection of four major Asian civilizations - Tibetan, Mongolian, Chinese, and Muslim. In the early twentieth century it housed several thousand monks who studied and practiced the full range of Buddhist doctrines and rituals. The author draws on the photographs and memories of two Christian missionaries resident in the area for nearly 27 years, as well as the memoirs of Apa Alo, a local dignitary, to detail Labrang`s unique and clourful Tibetan border culture. |
