Inspired by her contributions to life writing, Tibetan medicine, gender studies, and more, these offerings make a rich feast for readers interested in Tibetan and Buddhist studies.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eJanet Gyatso has made substantial, influential, and incredibly valuable contributions to the fields of Buddhist and Tibetan studies. Her paradigm-shifting approach is to take a topic, an idea, a text, a term--often one that had long been taken for granted or overlooked--and turn it inside out, to radically reimagine the kinds of questions that might be asked and what the answers might reveal. The twenty-nine essays in this volume, authored by colleagues and former students--many of whom are now also colleagues--represent the breadth of her interests and influence and the care that she has taken in training the current generation of scholars of Tibet and Buddhism. They are organized into five sections: Women, Gender, and Sexuality; Biography and Autobiography; the Nyingma Imaginaire; Literature, Art, and Poetry; and Early Modernity: Human and Nonhuman Worlds. Contributions include José Cabezón on the incorporation of a Buddhist rock carving in Central Asian culture; Matthew Kapstein on the memoirs of an ambivalent reincarnated lama; Willa Baker on Jikmé Lingpa's theory of absence; Andrew Quintman on a found poem expressing worldly sadness on the forced closure of a monastery; and Padma 'tsho on Tibetan women's advocacy for full female ordination. These and the many other chapters, each fascinating reads in their own right, together offer a glowing tribute to a scholar who indelibly changed the way we think about Buddhism, its history, and its literature.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eHolly Gayley is a scholar and translator of contemporary Buddhist literature in Tibet and an associate professor in the Department of Religious Studies at the University of Colorado Boulder. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAndrew Quintman is a scholar of Buddhist traditions in Tibet and the Himalaya, and an associate professor in the Department of Religion at Wesleyan University.\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 536\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.6 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 06, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47459554525362,"sku":"9781614297796","price":59.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/3891\/1666\/files\/47cf82a06f1745be2ff455be2a8da7d3.webp?v=1778903366","url":"https:\/\/box.dadyminds.org\/products\/living-treasure-buddhist-and-tibetan-studies-in-honor-of-janet-gyatso-hardcover","provider":"DADYMINDS BOX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
