The Social Life of Tibetan Biography explores the creation of
Tibetan religious authority in Tibetan cultural areas throughout
East, Inner, and South Asia through engaging with the relationship
between textual biography and social community in the case of the
Eastern Tibetan yogi Tokden Shakya Shri (1853 1919). It explores
the different mechanisms used by Shakya Shri s community in the
creation of his biographical portrait to develop his lineage,
including the use of biographical tropes, details of interpersonal
connections, educational and patronage networks, and
representations of sacred site creation and maintenance. In doing
so, this study decenters Tibetan and Himalayan religious history
through recognizing that peripheries could act as alternative
centers of authority for diverse Tibetan Buddhist communities."
