Preface This volume is part of the research results of the international symposium, "Linguistic Substrata in the Tibeto-Burman Area, held on the 9th through 11th September 2008 at the National Museum of Ethnology, under the sponsorship of Monbusho-JSPS Grant-in-aid, "Linguistic Substratum in Tibet" (category No. 16102001, 2004-2008 fiscal years) as well as that of the National Museum of Ethnology, my working place. This project marks the third phase of the Basic Research into Bon Culture in Tibet launched at the National Museum of Ethnology in 1995, and represents a summation of that research. Japan has a long tradition of Tibetan studies, and has accumulated significant resources. In the field of linguistics, Hajime Kitamura's descriptive research into the Lhasa dialect and Tatsuo Nishida's study of the Xixia language and historical research of Sino-Tibetan languages are representative. However, ultimately the research has centered on Buddhist studies, and attempts to understand Tibet for its own sake have been sparse. At this Museum, it was determined that we would focus on the Bon culture as one of the elements upon which Tibetan culture was founded, and that we would consolidate our research infrastructure and undertake a comprehensive investigation of the topic. Those results were presented in the Bon Studies series of Senri Ethnological Reports at the Museum. The present volume concentrates on the status quo of the study on the Zhangzhung language that was spoken among the Bon followers, formation of Old Tibetan and the surrounding Tibeto-Burman language family, and deriving from that, methodological problems associated with historical linguistics. I hope that this publication widens the scope of Tibeto-Burman studies. I would like to express my sincere thanks to the National Museum of Ethnology for its generous financial help and to Dr. Lawrence Reid, who carefully edited the volume for style and suggested revisions for the papers prepared by non-native speakers of English. Let me add that I am deeply grateful to Mrs. Satoko Suzuki for her vital editorial assistance. Yasuhiko Nagano The book you see in the images is the actual book we have for sale. Why pay more?

From the Preface: Bon is one of the Pre-Buddhist religions in Tibet and it has been defined in a variety of ways. But, regardless of how we define Bon, it could be properly said that, in the Bonpo culture, we perceive something essential or even universal that has permeated Tibetan culture throughout the ages. The Organized Bon boasts a huge scriptural canon equal in size to the Tibetan Buddhist canon. Actually, the Bonpo Kangyur reprinted and published in Chengdu consists of 180 volumes, while the new series of the Katen Texts collection (so-called Tengyur) recently published in Lhasa contains at least 300 volumes (see our Catalogue of the New Collection of the Bonpo Katen Texts, SER 24, 2001). Although each taxonomic level of these huge collection of texts containing a wide variety of entangled contents, this fact itself supports Dr. D. Snellgrove s assertion, Accepting everything, refusing nothing through the centuries, It (=Bon) is the one all-embracing form of Tibetan religion (The Nine ways of Bon, London Oriental series, 18, p. 13, 1967).

Soft cover. Condition: New. 2nd Edition. Contents: Preface. 1. Introduction. 2. Bon brgya dge legs lhun grub rgya mtsho, Musashi Tachikawa, Shin ichi Tsumagari and Yasuhiko Nagano. Appendix. Index. The present volume contains a detailed descriptive analysis of a set of a thangka collection from Rebkong, one of the strongholds of Bon culture in Northern Tibet, where a different system and style from that of the Khyungpo school is observed. This Thangka collection is under the possession of National Museum of Ethnology, Japan. Since, unlike the Buddhist tradition, Bonpo do not have any reference of norms for their thangkas, our work started from the iconographical description found in Bon liturgical texts. For this purpose, we requested venerable Bon brgya dGe legs Ihun grub rgya mtsho to commission the artists in Rebkong to draw the paintings in accordance with the texts. We have therefore thangka paintings that follow the traditional style of the Rebkong region.
