Tibetan Buddhism in the Qing dynasty

Based on abundant Tibetan and Chinese materials, this book discusses the development and evolution of Tibetan Buddhism in China during the Qing Dynasty, and makes a detailed exposition of the system of Buddhist rituals, the temporal and religious administration system, study on living Buddha reincarnation and the system of drawing a lot from the golden urn, the system of conferment and rewards, system of certificates of lamas and the management mode of lamas of Tibetan Buddhism in the Qing Dynasty. Many previous studies on the history of Qing Dynasty and Tibetan Buddhism use Chinese materials - however, the author here is a Tibetan scholar who references and quotes a large number of first-hand Tibetan materials, providing extensive and informative research.

The book systematically combs the various factions of Tibetan Buddhism, and expounds the establishment, inheritance, religious ceremony and theoretical characteristics of each faction.
