Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the course of several months during 1931 and 1932, Robert Byron journeyed to three countries teetering on the brink of change. In Russia, which was stricken by famine, Lenin had just died, Stalin’s dictatorship was in its infancy and the Great Terror had yet to begin. Having taken the first commercial flight to India, which took an astounding seven days, Byron was thrown into the tumultuous last years of the British Raj. Gandhi was imprisoned, while rioting and clashes between Hindus and Muslims had become commonplace. Finally Byron entered Tibet, the forbidden country. Exploring “The Land of Snows”, he saw Tibet as it was when the then Dalai Lama was still ensconced in the Potala Palace, twenty years before China’s invasion. First Russia, Then Tibet is an invaluable first-hand account of transformative moments in periods of change and upheaval.-Print ed. Richly illustrated throughout.

Download or read book Endless Cups of Tea written by Martha Smith Bell and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The following life histories are personal accounts of Tibetan history as told by Tibetan refugees living in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Telling life histories is a literary genre in Tibet, but for a Tibetan, life is not chronological. Tibetans tend to tell life experiences as they relate to a person's journey along the path to enlightenment. The aural/oral exchange between the listener/writer and the Tibetan life storyteller is an attempt to bring together the self with the other, nominal terms separated out in conventional reality. The texts are symbolically situated in the sacred so that self can be deconstructed. The methodology of this thesis seeks to question self implicitly so that others may have insight into emptiness and the interrelatedness of all beings. This moves the autobiography out of the realm of mere narcissism. The primary aim of this inquiry is to give voice to an individual, who also represents the mother, father, child, lover and enemy in one's own lifetime. To do this is to walk in a Buddhist's shoes
