"The Holy Land Reborn. Pilgrimage and the Tibetan Reinvention of Buddhist India" by Toni Huber

Description

A major contribution to the study of Buddhism, this book describes changes in Tibetan constructs of India over the centuries, ultimately challenging largely static views of the sacred geography of Buddhism in India. Author investigates how Tibetans have maintained a ritual relationship to India, particularly by way of pilgrimage, and what it means for them to consider India as their holy land.





This book had a long, slow gestation, and its birth owes a lot to many different people.
