The Tibetan district of Tsari with its sacred snow-covered peak of
Pure Crystal Mountain has long been a place of symbolic and ritual
significance for Tibetan peoples. 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
1940s and '50s, 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 disappeared with the advent of Chinese colonial modernity
in Tibet. In addition to the work's documentary content, Huber
offers discussion and analysis of the construction and meaning of
Tibetan cultural categories of space, place, and person, and the
practice of ritual and organization of traditional society in
relation to them.
