Rulers on the Celestial plain

Ecclesiastic and Secular Hegemony in Medieval Tibet ; a Study of Tshal Gung-thang

by

A monumental academic study of the monastic complex of Tshal Gung-thang and sKyid-shod, the Lhasa valley, offering an extensive contribution to the historical study of early and late medieval Tibet.

Part One of the book is a translation of a basic text concerning the history of Tshal Gung Thang. Part Two comprises lenthy appendices on various aspects of the history and cultic tradition of Tshal-pa and the Lhasa Valley. It includes the compelling story of the Tibetan Lama Zhang g.Yu-brag-pa, also known as Zhang Tshal pa, or Gung-thang Bla ma Zhang
