In this book, Toni Huber provides the first thorough study of a major Tibetan Buddhist pilgrimage center and cult mountain, and explores the esoteric and popular traditions of ritual there. The main focus is on the period of the 1940's and '50's, just prior to the 1959 Lhasa uprising and subsequent Tibetan diaspora into South Asia. Huber's work thus documents Tibetan life patterns and cultural traditions which have largely disappearedBuddhismChinaTibet Autonomous RegionCustoms and practicesMountain worshipChinaTibet Autonomous RegionTibet Autonomous Region (China)Religious life and customsElectronic books.BuddhismCustoms and practices.Mountain worship294.3/923/09515Huber Toni1956-777832MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910455751203321The cult of Pure Crystal Mountain1978931UNINA
