The Precious Summary
With US forces amassing nearby, in January 2003 Saddam Hussein appealed to the deep memory of his Iraqi citizenry. The Americans, he claimed, were “the Mongols of this age.” George W. Bush, by implication, the new Hülegü—Chinggis Khan's reviled grandson who had, in 1258, laid siege to Baghdad, killed the caliph, and smothered the “golden age of Islam.” This time, Saddam vowed, the invading hordes would “commit suicide on [Baghdad's] walls.”1 His …
What Time Is Right View? Monks, Revolutionaries, and Straw Men at the End of History
In the ruins of the Qing Empire, monastic writers of the previously favored Géluk tradition produced all manner of literary genres and deployed all manner of interpretative operations to set the postimperial ruins into time and place. One particular and quite peculiar strategy among Géluk scholastics in Yeke-yin Küriy-e, presented and examined in this article, was to deploy an extensive polemical attack against the Nyingma tradition. The Nyingma …
In the Forest of the Blind
Matthew W. King offers a groundbreaking account of the literary, social, and political history of the circulation, translation, and interpretation of Faxian’s The Record of Buddhist Kingdoms . He reads its many journeys at multiple levels, contrasting the textual and interpretative traditions of the European academy and the Inner Asian monastery.
Buddhists, Shamans, and Soviets
In the Republic of Buryatia today, as in many post-Soviet societies, the present is disconnected from any definite past. After the Russian-Qing Treaty of Nerchinsk (1689) and then the Treaty of Kyakhta (1727), certain northerly Mongol groups, including the Buryats, discovered that they were citizens of imperial Russia. For centuries thereafter, Buryats on the eastern shores of Lake Baikal weathered Slavic migration, the weight of Orthodox Christi…
Desire
AN INTERROGATION of “desire” has much to contribute to the study of religion, capital, and capitalism. This is particularly evident as we move from more widely studied liberal, post-Protestant, and secular social ecologies to capital’s new homelands in Asia. Although thinking about economy and religion together is hardly new, exploring the “making with” desire that always accompanies capital’s circulatory histories represents another, vastly unde…
Medical Aesthetics in the Twilight of Empire
This article introduces the life and medical histories of the luminary Khalkha Mongolian monk, Lungrik Tendar (Tib. Lung rigs bstan dar; Mon. Lungrigdandar, c. 1842-1915). Well known for his exegesis of received medical works from Central Tibet, Lungrik Tendar was also a historian of the Four Tantras (Tib. Rgyud bzhi; Mon. Dörben ündüsü). In 1911, just as Khalkha Mongolia began separating from a flailing Qing Empire, Lungrik Tendar set out to app…
Buddhism and medicine
"Buddhism and medicine: an anthology of premodern sources." Studies in Chinese Religions, 4(2), pp. 259–260
Accuracy and Acceptability of a Screening Tool for Identifying Intimate Partner Violence Perpetration among Women Veterans
Giving Milk to Snakes
Suppressing the Mad Elephant
The late-nineteenth century was a time of Protestant missionary enthusiasm for the “great closed land” of Tibet. Their prodigious, oftentimes proto-ethnographic, writings continue to provide scholars with archives that document missionary perspectives on Inner Asian society and religion, but few sources have yet emerged that allow for these to be read alongside Tibetan accounts of Christian-Buddhist encounters. This article undertakes such a para…
