Tsybikov. 330 $aTsybikov was the first scholar with a European education to visit Tibet and describe its monasteries and temples as an eyewitness traveler and an objective researcher. Tsybikov had two distinct advantages: an ethnic Buryat he could travel as a Buddhist pilgrim and thus have a chance of reaching its mysterious capital Lhasa, the religious and political center of Tibet, which was barred to outsiders, especially Europeans; as a scholar educated at a European university he had the historical and linguistic background to understand and describe what he saw. Tsybikov understood the secretive nature of the lama state and was careful to hide his work as a researcher. It was his journal that became the basis of A Buddhist Pilgrim at the Shrines of Tibet , which has both the vividness of a traveller?s eyewitness account and the informed detachment of a scholar. As a record of both religious practices and the everyday life in Tibet before Chinese inroads during the twentieth century effaced that way of life, Tsybikov?s book is a unique and invaluable snapshot of a lost culture. 410 0$aBrill's Tibetan Studies Library$v42. 606 $aBuddhist pilgrims and pilgrimages$zChina$zTibet Autonomous Region$xHistory 606 $aBuddhist shrines$zChina$zTibet Autonomous Region$xHistory 606 $aBuddhist monasteries$zChina$zTibet Autonomous Region$xHistory 607 $aTibet Autonomous Region (China)$xReligious life and customs 607 $aTibet Autonomous Region (China)$xSocial life and customs 607 $aTibet Autonomous Region (China)$xDescription and travel 607 $aLhasa (China)$xDescription and travel 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aBuddhist pilgrims and pilgrimages$xHistory. 615 0$aBuddhist shrines$xHistory. 615 0$aBuddhist monasteries$xHistory. 676 $a294.392309515 700 $aT?S??ybikov$b G.
