A special gift of China--Tibet
Tibet is certainly famous in colorful culture, religion and history, especially of her beautiful nature scenery. Since last century, overseas and domestic tourists rushed to the western land of China to discover the true beauty.
Anything about Tibet must start from the first powerful emperor Songtsen Gampo of a unified Tibet. To consolidate his power, Songtsen Gampo married the Nepalese princess Khri b’Tsun and the Chinese princess Wencheng. Both of the princesses are devout Buddhists, so they all bought dowries devotional picture of Sakyamuni as well as other sutras. When the two princesses came to Tibet, Songtsen Gampo heartily welcomed them, he also welcomed Buddhism came with his wives. No long, Songtsen Gampo himself converted to Buddhism by the two beautiful and faithful wives’ influence, and even start constructed the first Buddhism temple in Tibet, which including the Jokhang Temple in Lhasa.
In the mid of eighth century, Buddhism enters in Tibet again but this time is from India. Buddhism soon spread rapidly emerged by the latter half of the tenth century. At thirteenth century the religion had spread out of China, from Tibet to Mongolia. During that period, Buddhism quickly flourished, spreading and promoting throughout the huge area of China. As the religion grew in popularity, the lamas rose with political power in Tibet. As a result, Tibet is in a Buddhist theocracy that unlike any other government in the world.
Today, majority of Tibetans are still faithful Buddhist. You can see people spinning prayer wheels in their hands in the street. As their custom, the prayer wheels have passed from hand to hand and generation to generation to become one of the best-known symbols of Tibet.
“Om mani padme hum” is most often spoken words you can hear in Tibet. These six- character mantra syllables are from one of Tibetan Buddhism‘s most important invocation – as a centre part of Tibetan life as ghee.

Britain and Tibet 1765-1947 $44.95 A hundred years ago, in 1904, a British mission under Francis Younghusband, along with a formidable military escort commanded by Brigadier-General James Macdonald, entered Lhasa, the capital of Tibet. Thus nearly 150 years of British attempts from their Indian base to establish formal diplomatic relations with the ruling Tibetan theocracy culminated in the deployment of massive armed force. While the Younghusband venture failed to achieve nearly all its stated objectives, it undoubtedly marked the opening of a new era in Central Asian history the full consequences and complexities of which have yet to be revealed in full. To the steadily growing band of students of the history, nature and consequences of Anglo-Tibetan contacts, in which the Younghusband mission features so prominently, Julie Marshall's revised and enormously expanded version of her bibliography of works relating to British relations with Tibet from 1765 to 1947, of which the first version appeared in 1977, cannot fail to be of outstanding value. Its publication is indeed an appropriate event in the Younghusband centenary. |

American Theocracy $5.99 From ancient Rome to the British Empire, every world-dominating power has been brought down by an overlapping set of problems: a foolish combination of global overreach, militant religion, diminishing resources, and ballooning debt. In American Theocracy, former Republican strategist and noted political and economic commentator Kevin Phillips argues that it is exactly this nexus of ills that has come to define America's identity at the start of the new century. Matching his command of history with a penetrating analysis of contemporary politics, Phillips presents a searing vision of the future, confirming what too many Americans are still unwilling to admit about the depth of our misgovernment. |

Tibet, Tibet $13.99 At different times in its history Tibet has been renowned for pacifism and martial prowess, enlightenment and cruelty. The Dalai Lama may be the only religious leader who can inspire the devotion of agnostics. Patrick French has been fascinated by Tibet since he was a teenager. He has read its history, agitated for its freedom, and risked arrest to travel through its remote interior. His love and knowledge inform every page of this learned, literate, and impassioned book. Talking with nomads and Buddhist nuns, exiles and collaborators, French portrays a nation demoralized by a half-century of Chinese occupation and forced to depend on the patronage of Western dilettantes. He demolishes many of the myths accruing to Tibet–including those centering around the radiant figure of the Dalai Lama. Combining the best of history, travel writing, and memoir, Tibet, Tibet is a work of extraordinary power and insight. From the Trade Paperback edition. |

Paul's Critique of Theocracy $120 Paul's Critique of Theocracy offers an interpretation of select texts in Corinthians and Galatians concerned with the establishment of legitimate authority in the Christian community. Odell-Scott argues that for Paul, no one may boast that they are selected by God, and no one has the authority to rule as God’s representative. Paul also criticizes those who exhibit a superior “sacredness” over other community members. Contrary to most scholarly views, Odell-Scott argues that Paul is not taking sides in a debate about the proper authority structure. Rather, he criticizes any notion of such a structure, opposing it with his metaphor of the Church as the body of Christ and the “sacred family” of God. The exegesis is also sketched out in a postmodern framework criticizing hierarchy through differentiation. |
