Book Description Softcover. Condition: new. Illustrated. Founded in 1676 during a cosmopolitan early modern period Mindrling monastery became a key site for Buddhist education and a Tibetan civilizational center Its founders sought to systematize and institutionalize a worldview rooted in Buddhist philosophy engaging with contemporaries from across Tibetan Buddhist schools while crystallizing what it meant to be part of their own Nyingma school At the monastery ritual performance meditation renunciation and training in the skills of a bureaucrat or member of the literati went hand in hand Studying at Mindrling entailed training the senses and cultivating the objects of the senses through poetry ritual music monastic dance visual arts and incense production as well as medicine and astrologyDominique Townsend investigates the ritual artistic and cultural practices inculcated at Mindrling to demonstrate how early modern Tibetans integrated Buddhist and worldly activities through training in aesthetics Considering laypeople as well as monastics and women as well as men A Buddhist Sensibility sheds new light on the forms of knowledge valued in early modern Tibetan societies especially among the ruling classes Townsend traces how tastes values and sensibilities were cultivated and spread showing what it meant for a person lay or monastic to be deemed well educated Combining historical and literary analysis with fieldwork in Tibetan Buddhist communities this book reveals how monastic institutions work as centers of cultural production beyond the boundaries of what is conventionally deemed Buddhist.
