Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “With this memoir by a ‘simple monk’ who spent 33 years in prisons and labor camps for resisting the Chinese, a rare Tibetan voice is heard.” —The New York Times Book Review Palden Gyatso was born in a Tibetan village in 1933 and became an ordained Buddhist monk at eighteen—just as Tibet was in the midst of political upheaval. When Communist China invaded Tibet in 1950, it embarked on a program of “reform” that would eventually affect all of Tibet’s citizens and nearly decimate its ancient culture. In 1967, the Chinese destroyed monasteries across Tibet and forced thousands of monks into labor camps and prisons. Gyatso spent the next twenty-five years of his life enduring interrogation and torture simply for the strength of his beliefs. Palden Gyatso’s story bears witness to the resilience of the human spirit, and to the strength of Tibet’s proud civilization, faced with cultural genocide. “To readers of this memoir, however untraveled, Tibet will never again seem remote or unfamiliar. . . . Gyatso reminds us that the language of suffering is universal.” —Library Journal “Has the ring of undeniable truth. . . . Palden Gyatso’s clear-sighted eloquence (in Tsering Shakya’s fluent translation) makes his tale even more engrossing.” —San Francisco Chronicle

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tsering Döndrup is one of the most popular and critically acclaimed authors writing in Tibetan today. In a distinct voice rich in black humor and irony, he describes the lives of Tibetans in contemporary China with wit, empathy, and a passionate sense of justice. The Handsome Monk and Other Stories brings together short stories from across Tsering Döndrup’s career to create a panorama of Tibetan society. With a love for the sparse yet vivid language of traditional Tibetan life, Tsering Döndrup tells tales of hypocritical lamas, crooked officials, violent conflicts, and loyal yaks. His nomad characters find themselves in scenarios that are at once strange and familiar, satirical yet poignant. The stories are set in the fictional county of Tsezhung, where Tsering Döndrup’s characters live their lives against the striking backdrop of Tibet’s natural landscape and go about their daily business to the ever-present rhythms of Tibetan religious life. Tsering Döndrup confronts pressing issues: the corruption of religious institutions; the indignities and injustices of Chinese rule; poverty and social ills such as gambling and alcoholism; and the hardships of a minority group struggling to maintain its identity in the face of overwhelming odds. Ranging in style from playful updates of traditional storytelling techniques to narrative experimentation, Tsering Döndrup’s tales pay tribute to the resilience of Tibetan culture.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first English translation of Robert the Monk's Historia Iherosolimitana, a Latin prose chronicle describing the First Crusade. In addition to providing new and unique information on the Crusade (Robert claims to have been an eyewitness of the Council of Clermont in 1095), its particular interest lies in the great popularity it enjoyed in the Middle Ages. The text has close links with the vernacular literary tradition and is written in a racy style which would not disgrace a modern tabloid journalist. Its reflection of contemporary legends and anecdotes gives us insights into perceptions of the Crusade at that time and opens up interesting perspectives onto the relationship of history and fiction in the twelfth century. The introduction discusses what we know about Robert, his importance as a historical source and his place in the literary tradition of the First Crusade.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a study on the current conditions of monk education in Khmer refugee camps and the role of Buddhism in the psychological survival of refugees. The study begins with background information on the role of Buddhism as a centering force in rural Khmer society. The author notes that Buddhism was a primary target for destruction by the Khmer Rouge regime between 1975 and 1979. He examines the situation of education in the border camps, giving special attention to the organization of the religious life within the camps and the communication between the monks in the major camps. The daily schedules of the monks are presented, as well as the curriculum and quality of the monks education within the camps. Various international efforts to improve the educational situation for the monks are described. In addition, the study examines the lay devotee nuns. The author goes on to discuss the specific situation of the monk education problem in the three major camps: Site 2; Site B; and Site 8. The study concludes that international support for Khmer Buddhist Sangha in the border camps has become increasingly recognized as a way of addressing the psychological and social problems of the displaced Khmer. The appendices include: statistics on the Khmer Buddhist Wats in the Thai Border camps in April-May 1990; a report of the programme activities and proposals developed by the Khmer-Buddhist Educational Assistance Project (KEAP) with and on behalf of the Khmer Buddhist monks in the Thai border camps; an English summary of Ven. Hok Savann's three talks to Khmer monks and novices at the University of Massachusetts in January 1990; a background paper providing an overview of the history of Buddhism in Kampuchea; a selected bibliography in Western languages of Buddhism in Kampuchean and South East Asian culture and politics.
