Description
This book analyzes the religious-political culture of the Tibetan Empire (c. 620-842) and the establishment of Buddhism, based on early sources. It shows how relationships formed in the Imperial period underlie many of the unique characteristics of traditional Tibetan Buddhism.
Review:
'This book expands the range of Old Tibetan Studies. Those who study early Tibet hereafter must consider Tibetan culture in the context of the Eurasian culture complex.' Kazushi Iwao, The International Journal of Asian Studies 8/2 (2011)
