Ladakh has been the home of many cultures-The Dards, The Mongols, The Tibeto & The Burmans all shut out from the External world. It lay in its seclusion for many decades until the Zojila Pass was opened and Tourism allowed sometime in 1960. The monograph on 'Buddhism beyond Zojila' elucidates the fascinating History about the four main sects of Mahyana, i.e. Gelukpa, Ka'gyudpa, Saskyapa and Nyingmapa of Ladakh.
The main theme of this book is to Study Drugpa Ka'gyud monasteries of Shyam side and sub gonpas of other sects in Ladakh.
The book is the outcome of micro-level study of Buddhist monasteries in Ladakh, and may be very useful for researchers and tourists. |
