Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: William Montgomery McGovern was an American adventurer, anthropologist and journalist. He was possibly an inspiration for the character of Indiana Jones. McGovern claims he had to sneak into the Tibet disguised as a local porter. As Time reported in 1938: With a few Tibetan servants, he climbed through the wild, snowy passes of the Himalayas. There, in the bitter cold, he stood naked while a companion covered his body with brown stain, squirted lemon juice into his blue eyes to darken them. Thus disguised as a coolie, he arrived in the Forbidden City without being detected, but disclosed himself to the civilian officials. A fanatical mob led by Buddhist monks stoned his house. Bill McGovern slipped out through a back door and joined the mob in throwing stones. The civil government took him into protective custody, finally sent him back to India with an escort.--Wikipedia.

Download or read book Eat the Buddha written by Barbara Demick and published by Random House. This book was released on 2020-07-28 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A gripping portrait of modern Tibet told through the lives of its people, from the bestselling author of Nothing to Envy “A brilliantly reported and eye-opening work of narrative nonfiction.”—The New York Times Book Review NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY Parul Sehgal, The New York Times • The New York Times Book Review • The Washington Post • NPR • The Economist • Outside • Foreign Affairs Just as she did with North Korea, award-winning journalist Barbara Demick explores one of the most hidden corners of the world. She tells the story of a Tibetan town perched eleven thousand feet above sea level that is one of the most difficult places in all of China for foreigners to visit. Ngaba was one of the first places where the Tibetans and the Chinese Communists encountered one another. In the 1930s, Mao Zedong’s Red Army fled into the Tibetan plateau to escape their adversaries in the Chinese Civil War. By the time the soldiers reached Ngaba, they were so hungry that they looted monasteries and ate religious statues made of flour and butter—to Tibetans, it was as if they were eating the Buddha. Their experiences would make Ngaba one of the engines of Tibetan resistance for decades to come, culminating in shocking acts of self-immolation. Eat the Buddha spans decades of modern Tibetan and Chinese history, as told through the private lives of Demick’s subjects, among them a princess whose family is wiped out during the Cultural Revolution, a young Tibetan nomad who becomes radicalized in the storied monastery of Kirti, an upwardly mobile entrepreneur who falls in love with a Chinese woman, a poet and intellectual who risks everything to voice his resistance, and a Tibetan schoolgirl forced to choose at an early age between her family and the elusive lure of Chinese money. All of them face the same dilemma: Do they resist the Chinese, or do they join them? Do they adhere to Buddhist teachings of compassion and nonviolence, or do they fight? Illuminating a culture that has long been romanticized by Westerners as deeply spiritual and peaceful, Demick reveals what it is really like to be a Tibetan in the twenty-first century, trying to preserve one’s culture, faith, and language against the depredations of a seemingly unstoppable, technologically all-seeing superpower. Her depiction is nuanced, unvarnished, and at times shocking.

Book Synopsis The Path to Mysterious Tibet by : Frank Wong
Download or read book The Path to Mysterious Tibet written by Frank Wong and published by Frank Y.W. Wong. This book was released on 2012-07-31 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is a travel publication revealing the mysterious part of Tibet: Its sky burial, that a dead person is cut and chopped into pieces for the vultures' consumption. So that the dead will be flown up to the sky by the vultures to place that is nearer to their deities (god). The second part of the book is on the route that a dead person has to pass through after death. Finally end up in reincarnation. The reincarnation may not be a rebirth of the human being. There are 6 channels to go for rebirth. Any moment one can rebirth as the son of his son, one can also rebirth as a monkey, or an ape (animal). Believe it or not, this is the teaching of the esoteric religion of the Tibetans. Have you seen people walking on the water to cross a lake? Look at the interesting image of the Tibetan nuns doing that.

Download or read book Tibet, the Mysterious written by Thomas Hungerford Holdich and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-16 with total page 445 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tibet, the Mysterious No country in the world has exercised a more potent influence on the imaginations of men or presented such fascinating problems for solution to the explorer as Tibet; and this influence has been active amongst all the generations which have exploited the bye ways of the earth from the days of Herodotus to those of Younghusband. It may be doubted whether even now the fascination of Tibetan travel is dead. But the glamour of it has undoubtedly faded somewhat since the streets of Lhasa have been trodden by the spurred and booted Englishman and his ruthless hand has exposed the mystic shams of that quaint and squalid city. With Lhasa, however, this book has little to do. It is intended to illustrate to some extent the sequence of exploration in that great wilderness of stony and inhospitable altitudes which lie far beyond Lhasa, and may serve incidentally as a small tribute to the memory of many great achievements.

Book Synopsis Secrets of Tibet by : Jason Williams
Download or read book Secrets of Tibet written by Jason Williams and published by Chaosium Incorporated. This book was released on 2013-12 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Unknown Land of Mythos and Mystery TIBET is a common term used in the western world to refer to a remote plateau situated north of the Himalayan mountain range in Asia. A land of high-altitude peaks, some areas are impossible to reach without modern technology. The land is populated with malevolent gods and monsters, and deep secrets lie sleeping in ancient tombs and vaults among Tibet's soaring mountains and deep valleys. Geologists determined that millions of years ago, the Himalayan mountain range lay at the bottom of the ocean. The gradual movement of Earth's tectonic plates raised this region so that it now contains many of the highest points above sea level on the planet. The Himalayas cover a vast area that, some whisper, overlaps the Dreamlands and the terror-shrouded mountainous area between the Cold Waste and the dreaded Plateau of Leng. Secrets of Tibet details information about everyday life in this mysterious and unique country, from the early twentieth century through to more modern times, along with horrific underlying truths. Tibetan demons are remnants of races that came to Earth from the stars millions of years ago. They dwell in hidden places, are served by loyal minions, and are protected by ancient dark cults that span the globe. They slumber until a time when the stars align, and their awakening shall herald the end of the world as we know it. Over millennia some have awakened briefly, sometimes for years or even centuries, to observe what has been happening in the world. Others are dreamers with lesser abilities, but in their slumber they influence the cold mountain areas of Tibet. Combined, their powers have thinned the barriers between the Waking World, Earth's Dreamlands, and other worlds and dimensions of space and time. Included within these pages are a history of Tibet, chapters detailing its culture and religion, a bestiary of Tibetan gods and monsters, a guide to the Forbidden City of Lhasa including maps, and three scenarios that will take investigators to the Tibetan plateau and beyond.
