The Holy Land Reborn
The Dalai Lama has said that Tibetans consider themselves “the child of Indian civilization” and that India is the “holy land” from whose sources the Tibetans have built their own civilization. What explains this powerful allegiance to India? In The Holy Land Reborn ̧ Toni Huber investigates how Tibetans have maintained a ritual relationship to India, particularly by way of pilgrimage, and what it means for them to consider India as their holy land. Focusing on the Tibetan creation and recreation of India as a destination, a landscape, and a kind of other, in both real and idealized terms, Huber explores how Tibetans have used the idea of India as a religious territory and a sacred geography in the development of their own religion and society. In a timely closing chapter, Huber also takes up the meaning of India for the Tibetans who live in exile in their Buddhist holy land. A major contribution to the study of Buddhism, The Holy Land Reborn describes changes in Tibetan constructs of India over the centuries, ultimately challenging largely static views of the sacred geography of Buddhism in India.
BABA NANAK SHAH FAKIR
Guru Nanak, one of the greatest philosophers and thinkers the world has known, was far ahead of his time in voicing social issues. He embarked on an altruistic mission to far-off lands to challenge past beliefs, doctrines, and prejudices and build an alternative social structure based on principles of equality and justice. His eternal message has a very strong appeal and his teachings, which transcend the limits of time and space cannot be confined to a community, country, or time. His the name still resonates all over the world and people still look up to him for guidance. This book portrays Baba Nanak’s unique, perennial and sublime, message of the close relationship of man with the cosmos, and his love for humanity. It is a humble endeavor to study the life and mission of Nanak, a man of the people, and thereby introduce the reader to his divine personality and teachings.
