Renowned as the "Three Polymaths," Ts̐ueten Zhabdrung (1910-1985), Mug̐ue Samten (1914-1993), and Dungkar Lozang Trinl̐ue (1927-1997) earned this symbolic title for their efforts to keep the lamp of the Dharma lit even in the darkest hour of Tibetan history. Lineages of the Literary reveals how the Three Polymaths negotiated the political tides of the twentieth century, shedding new light on Sino-Tibetan relations and Buddhism during this turbulent era. Nicole Willock explores their contributions to reviving Tibetan Buddhism, expanding Tibetan literary arts, and pioneering Tibetan studies as an academic discipline. Her sophisticated reading of Tibetan-language sources vivifies the capacious literary world of the Three Polymaths, including autobiography, Buddhist philosophy, poetic theory, and historiography. Whereas prevailing state-centric accounts offer Tibetan religious figures in China only two roles, collaborator or resistance fighter, Willock shows how the Three Polymaths offer an alternative model of agency. She illuminates how they by turns safeguarded, taught, and celebrated Tibetan Buddhist knowledge, practices, and institutions after their near destruction during the Cultural Revolution. An interdisciplinary work spanning religious studies, history, literary studies, and social theory, Lineages of the Literary offers new insight into the categories of religion and the secular, the role of Tibetan Buddhist leaders in modern China, and the contested ground of Tibet"-- |cProvided by publisher. 504 Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 Three Polymaths : past and present -- "Telling what happened" : Buddhist recollections of the 1950s -- Mellifluous words on the human condition : the Maoist years -- Dungkar Rinpoch̐ue on the contested ground of Tibetan history -- Diverging lineages. 600 00 Tshe-tan Zhabs-drung, |d1910 or 1911-1986. |=^A1420199 600 00 Bsam-gtan, |cDmu-dge. |=^A1420117 600 00 Blo-bzang-̐uphrin-las, |cDung-dkar, |d1927-1997. |?UNAUTHORIZED 600 07 Bsam-gtan, |cDmu-dge. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01990544 |?UNAUTHORIZED 651 0 Tibet Region |xCivilization. |=^A1147166 651 0 China |xIntellectual life |y1949- |=^A131329 650 0 Buddhism |zChina |zTibet Autonomous Region |xHistory |y20th century. |=^A236719 650 7 Buddhism. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00840028 650 7 Civilization. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00862898 650 7 Intellectual life. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00975769 651 7 China. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01206073 |?UNAUTHORIZED 651 7 China |zTibet Autonomous Region. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01758817 |?UNAUTHORIZED 651 7 China |zTibet Region. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01919566 |?UNAUTHORIZED 648 7 Since 1900 |2fast 655 7 History. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 |iOnline version:Willock, Nicole D. |tLineages of the literary |dNew York : Columbia University Press, [2021] |z9780231551960 |w(DLC) 2020038975 949 Order on Demand |wASIS |hJOYNER219 960 |o1 |s35.00 |uJHIS |zUSD 961 |fDMD |m138099 596 1 998 5627933
