Abstract | To read the book is to walk into the daily life of Tibet last century and centuries before, go with a monk official to consult a tome of land titles kept in a monastic cellar and then to the fields to find buried boundary markers of white and black stones, in order to settle a dispute among neighbors. It is to marvel at the sophistication of an ancient, literate, humanely organized society, that tries to maintain Buddhist ethical principles in its institutions, laws and practices. |
