Présentation de l'éditeur
Great Closed Land, has in more recent years been an object of special interest to missionaries, and their Boards. This roof of the world may well be called the Crown of A sia, as her greatest rivers, like the Hoang Ho and Yangtse Kiang of China, the I rrawadi of Burma, the Brahmaputra, Ganges, and Indus of I ndia, rise there to flow down and water vast countries. Here in this great table land ranging from 10,000 to 14,000 feet above the sea, rules the Grand Lama, sea of wisdom, temporal and spiritual pope. Shut in by an encircling parapet of mighty mountains fringed with the birch and cedar, he and his followers, a very interesting people, wish to be left to their fancied wisdom. No wonder that missionary aspiration turning to the few remaining fields, seeks to seize this mysterious crown land, this home of the mahatmas, great spirits, and plant it among the many crowns on Jesus brow. Early in the i8th century Jesuit missionaries penetrated to the heart of the country, and effected a lodgment in Lhassa, the capital.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents an exhilarating account of missionary women's adventures in the landscapes of Tibet. Highlighting the challenges faced by the missionaries, the book brings to light the geopolitical and sociocultural context of Tibet in the early 1900s. The author traces their persistent attempts to establish contact with the Tibetan community, their struggles to negotiate the political and religious complexities of the region, and their ultimate success in establishing a mission in Tibet. The book delves into the themes of cross-cultural encounters, religious tolerance, and the complexities of female agency in a male-dominated society. It offers a valuable exploration of the early history of Tibet's interactions with the West, and the role of women in shaping these interactions.
