Tibetan Buddhism among Han Chinese
Mediation and Superscription of the Tibetan Tradition in Contemporary Chinese Society

It examines the Tibetan tradition’s historical context and its social, cultural, and political adaptation to Chinese society, as well as the effects on Han practitioners. The author's analysis is based on fieldwork in all three locations and includes a broad range of interlocutors, such as Tibetan religious teachers, Han practitioners, and lay Tibetans.
