TIBET - YOUNGHUSBAND EXPEDITIONBiblio.com

Sketch Map of Communications in Sikkim and Tibet.

1904177840Simla: Intelligence Branch Topographical Division June 1904. The race for Lhasa A rare intelligence map produced during a spectacular move in the later stages of the "great game" showing Younghusband's route as far as the fortress at Gyantse. The map incorporates both existing information gathered by pundits and also the fruits of surveys undertaken by British cartographers during the advance. We have traced a single copy held by the British Library shelf number 57690.1. The Younghusband Expedition under a pretext of bringing the Tibetans to heel aimed at closing a Russian backdoor to the Raj. Departing in winter 1903 Younghusband and his force crossed the Tibetan border on 12 December and began the push to Lhasa. Reaching Guru in March 1904 British forces massacred Tibetan troops blocking their path the Massacre at Chumik Shenko and following a protracted effort to seize control of the fort at Gyantse in May and June they swept along the eastern road reaching Lhasa in early July. "Some fifteen years earlier as a young subaltern Francis Younghusband had dreamed of entering Lhasa alone disguised as a Yarkandi trader. Now in full diplomatic regalia and with a small armed escort he rode into the holy city. The Tibetans their morale broken offered no resistance" Hopkirk p. 183. In addition to its geopolitical goals the expedition was tasked with surveying the Tibetan interior. Captain Charles Ryder an experienced Survey of India cartographer joined the expedition as the mapping officer and information gathered by his team was fed back to Intelligence Branch in Simla and incorporated into field maps. This example dated June 1904 charts the expedition's course from its December 1903 departure point of Siliguri up to Gyantse where Younghusband was still bogged down and gives known elevations and the course of alternative routes into Tibet to be followed by troops advancing in Younghusband's wake. Along the route there are markings for the expedition's camps lines representing the journeys of detachments from the main expedition and a delineation of the makeshift telegraph line running up to Kang Ma. A pair of crossed swords and a date note the site of the Massacre of Chumik Shenko. The northern and north-east portions covering Lhasa and the territory to the west are sketched according to the valuable information gathered in the 19th century by pundits such as Nain Singh Rawat and Kishen Singh. Rawat the first non-European to win a gold medal of the Royal Geographical Society was also the first member of the Survey of India to reach Lhasa. His cousin Kishen Singh made four surveying expeditions of Tibet and Central Asia the fourth producing a detailed map of Lhasa and its environs. The map shows the course of the Tsangpo and Nyang Chu and some of the geographical features of Younghusband's planned route east to Lhasa including the pass at Karo-La and the large lake of Yamdok Tso both of which were explored in detail by Kishen Singh in 1880. The expedition and the more detailed surveys by Ryder and others that followed its success built on the achievements of the pundits giving Britain an unparalleled cartographic knowledge of the Tibetan interior. Heliozincograph printed on cloth 780 x 670 mm. Traces of couple of contemporary purple ink annotations. Clean and bright barring couple of minor stains old folds and creasing: very good.

The Opening of the Wisdom-Eye.

19684545Bangkok: The Social Science Association Press of Thailand 1968. First edition in English of the Dalai Lama’s first book on Buddhist philosophy. Octavo original cloth. Signed by the Dalai Lama on the title page in Tibetan "with prayers." A near fine copy in an excellent dust jacket that is lightly rubbed. Housed in a custom half morocco clamshell box. Rare especially signed. The Opening the Eye of the Western Eye is a succinct thorough overview of the doctrines of Buddhism as they have been practiced for a thousand years in Tibet. The Dalai Lama here discusses the need for religious practice and the importance of kindness and compassion. Originally written for Tibetan lay people this was the Dalai Lama's first book on Buddhist philosophy to appear in English. Written for both Tibetan and Western readers Opening the Eye of New Awareness is the Dalai Lama's first religious work. It is not an edited transcript of public lectures but is His Holliness' own summation of Buddhist doctrine and practice. Completed in 1963 just four years after his escape from Tibet and four years after completing his religious education it is a work of consummate scholarship by a twenty-seven year-old geshe wise beyond his years.

My Tibet

199081695Berkeley CA: University of California Press 1990. First Printing Stated. Hardcover. Very good/Good. Galen Rowell Photographer. Format is approximately 9.25 inches by 13.5 inches. 6 162 pages. Introduction by Galen Rowell. Illustrations color. Maps. Nobel Peace Prize Citation. Chronology of the Fourteenth Dalai Lama. Index. DJ has some wear tears and soiling. Signed by Galen Rowell on first page. One of the world's spiritual leaders and a renowned wilderness photographer combine their vision of Tibet in this stunningly beautiful book. Essays by the Fourteenth Dalai Lama appear with Galen Rowell's dramatic images in a moving presentation of the splendors of Tibet. Galen Avery Rowell August 23 1940 - August 11 2002 was a wilderness photographer adventure photojournalist and climber. He became a full-time photographer in 1972. He pioneered a new kind of photography in which he was not merely an observer but considered himself a participant in the scenes that he photographed - he considered the landscape part of the adventure and the adventure part of the landscape. Rowell conceived a technical approach of extending the dynamic range to be captured on film. He developed a set of graduated neutral density filters and had them produced by Singh-Ray a filter manufacturer. They were sold under his name and became a standard for dealing with high contrast scenes. Galen Rowell also mastered the technique of using balanced fill flash which allowed him to lighten the deepest shadows in a subtle way to match the relatively narrow dynamic range of color reversal film. He won the Ansel Adams Award for Conservation Photography in 1984. One of the world's spiritual leaders and a renowned wilderness photographer combine their vision of Tibet in this stunningly beautiful book. Essays by the Fourteenth Dalai Lama appear with Galen Rowell's dramatic images in a moving presentation of the splendors of Tibet's revered but threatened heritage. When Chinese communist troops invaded Tibet in 1950 the author was fifteen years old and the spiritual and temporal ruler of a nation the size of western Europe. Tenzin Gyatso the Fourteenth Dalai Lama of Tibet appealed to the United Nations for help and then fled across the Himalaya in winter to a border town where he anxiously awaited political aid that never came. Like the mythical kingdom of Shangri-La Tibet had sought isolation from the rest of the world. Diplomatic relations and foreign visitors had been shunned and few people in the West knew what cultural and natural treasures lay threatened there. In the years that followed the Dalai Lama struggled to maintain peace in Tibet and to protect his people's ways but in 1959 he was forced to flee to India where he remains today. There he has established a government in exile in Dharamsala that has endeavored to preserve Tibetan culture while preparing for a peaceful return to a free Tibet. As the Chinese cautiously opened select Tibetan doors to visitors in the 1980s a sickening realization stole over the rest of the world: Tibet had been ravaged by the Chinese occupation. All but a dozen of Tibet's six thousand monasteries had been destroyed. Much of the once-bountiful wildlife had disappeared. A sixth of the population had perished. The picture seemed so bleak that many wondered whether there was anything worth saving in this wounded land. The Dalai Lama's heartening answer and Galen Rowell's magnificent photographs leave no doubt that the mystery and enchantment of Tibet though seriously endangered are still alive. To Tibetans the Dalai Lama is an incarnation of the Buddha of compassion. He has spent the last thirty years tirelessly advocating nonviolence and compassion to all living things as the answer to Tibet's plight. "My religion is simple" he says "my religion is kindness." My Tibet movingly elaborates this message: here the Dalai Lama offers his views on how world peace happiness and environmental responsibility are inextricably linked. He explains the meaning of pilgrimage for Tibetan Buddhists and gives an engaging account of his early life in Lhasa the capital of Tibet. In addition he reveals many sides to his nature' compassion profound faith common sense generosity a playful sense of humor in personal reflections matched here to 108 photographs of the land he hasn't seen since 1959. Together the breathtaking photographs which express Rowell's own commitment to the natural world and the Dalai Lama's observations help preserve the enduring meaning of Tibet's culture religion and natural heritage.
