About the Book:
This book traces the cultural interconnections between India, Nepal, Tibet, Mongolia, China, and Japan. Beginning with Nepal, it delves into the preservation of Buddhist sutras in Sanskrit, particularly the Tattvasangraha, which plays a key role in the Shingon tradition in Japan, as well as in the icons of Alchi and the grandeur of Borobudur. The second chapter explores Tibetan studies, including the edition of the Vinayavastu and the historical inconsistencies regarding the presence of Jesus Christ in the Hemis monastery, founded in the 17th century. The book also covers the destruction of Tibetan culture, the saving of the Derge monastery by Ven. Pewar Tulku and his devotees, and the Sven Hedin collection in Stockholm. The fourth chapter focuses on Mongolian studies, discussing Emperor Chien-lung’s edition of the Mongolian Kanjur and the tragic cultural genocide in Mongolia, explored through dialogues with Prof. Rinchen.
