In this book  Toni Huber provides the first thorough study of a major Tibetan Buddhist pilgrimage center and cult mountain  and explores the esoteric and popular traditions of ritual there. The main focus is on the period of the 1940s and 50s  just prior to the 1959 Lhasa uprising and subsequent Tibetan diaspora into South Asia. Hubers work thus documents Tibetan life patterns and cultural traditions which have largely disappeared with the advent of Chinese colonial modernity in Tibet. In addition to the works documentary content  Huber offers discussion and analysis of the construction and meaning of Tibetan cultural categories of space  place  and person  and the practice of ritual and organization of traditional society in relation to them.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45960453849141,"sku":"ByrdShop_0195120078","price":226.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780195120073.jpg?v=1788287699","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-cult-of-pure-crystal-mountain-popular-pilgrimage-and-visionary-landscape-in-southeast-tibet-9780195120073","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
