Through the biography of an unusual Manchu Chinese female devotee
who contributed to the spread of Tibetan Buddhism in Taiwan, the
book provides a new angle at looking at Sino-Tibetan relations by
bringing issues of gender, power, self-representation, and
globalization. Gongga Laoren's life, actions and achievements show
the fundamental elements behind the successful implementation of
Tibetan Buddhism in a Han cultural environment and highlights a
process that has created new expectations within communities,
either Tibetan or Taiwanese, working in political, economic,
religious and social contexts that have evolved from martial law in
the 1960s to democratic rule today.
