In breve: This volume forms a sequel to the author's Tibet Past and Present and The People of Tibet. Like them, it is in part an historical account, in part a description of conditions in the earlier part of the 20th century. Sir Charles Bell traces the history of the introduction of Buddhism, of the resistance and general decay of the older magic-worship of Ponism, and of the developments which have taken place within Tibetan Buddhism itself.
|
In breve: This book speaks about the life of the Tibetan people in their own homes. The account is based on the author's first-hand knowledge of Tibetan life during a residence of nearly twenty-five years, from conversation with his Tibetan acquaintances in their own language, and not through interpreters
|
In breve: The book deals with Tibetan history from the earliest times, but especially with the aims and movements of the period witnessed by the author early in this century. Anecdotes, conversations with leading Tibetans and quotations from poetry and proverbs illustrate the Tibetan point of view. Sir Charles Bell gives an inside view of the Tibet which he served for eighteen years on the Indo-Tibetan frontier.
