This narrative of subsistence on the Tibetan plateau describes the life-worlds of people in a region traditionally known as Kham who move with their yaks from pasture to pasture, depending on the milk production of their herd for sustenance. Gillian Tan’s story, based on her own experience of living through seasonal cycles with the people of Dora Karmo between 2006 and 2013, examines the community’s powerful relationship with a Buddhist lama and their interactions with external agents of change. In showing how they perceive their environment and dwell in their world, Tan conveys a spare beauty that honors the stillness and rhythms of nomadic life.

Nomad is a story of one Tibetan family's escape from Chinese oppression in their homeland to seek sanctuary in Nepal. The fraught journey from the security of the Changtang, the great northern plateau of Tibet, across the Tsangpo River and the passage of the Himalayas makes an exciting story that is based on the real life experiences of many refugees.When the Chinese soldiers capture the family, it is left to 16-year-old Tsedor with the help of his girl friend Chudun, to plan their escape from imprisonment and lead their young siblings over the Himalayas so they can fine freedom in exile in Nepal.This exciting story gives an excellent insight into the lives of the Tibetan nomads when they lived in freedom in their own homeland.

This bipartisan report from the staff of the Senate Foreign Relations Comm. (SFRC) presents their findings from a visit to Tibet from Sept. 719, 2010. Four staff members, accompanied by officials from the U.S. Embassy in Beijing, traveled to the Tibet Autonomous Region (TAR) and Tibetan regions of Western China. It was the first trip to Tibet by SFRC staff since Aug. 2002. The delegation was the first Senate staff delegation permitted by Chinese authorities to travel to Tibet since largescale peaceful protests and some riots shook the region in March 2008. While our delegation was in Lhasa, the Chinese granted formal approval for U.S. Ambassador Jon Huntsman to visit Tibet. The staff delegation was the result of more than a year of planning, including extensive consultations with the Chinese government and representatives of His Holiness the Dalai Lama and other Tibetan exiles, with human rights advocacy groups, nongovernmental organizations, Tibetan activists inside China, and Chinese and Western academics. The itinerary was designed to provide a glimpse into the lives of Tibetans from many walks of life - herders, monks, pilgrims, small business operators, teachers. It was also designed to provide access to both rural and urban areas. Includes recommendations for U.S. Tibet policy. Color photos. This is a print on demand report.

The idea of a hidden refuge, a paradise far from the stresses of modern life, has universal appeal. In 1932 the writer James Hilton coined the word 'Shangri-La' to describe such a place, when he gave that name to a hidden valley in the Himalayas in his novel LOST HORIZON. In THE SEARCH FOR SHANGRI-LA acclaimed traveller and writer Charles Allen explores the myth behind the story. He tracks down the sources that Hilton drew upon in writing his popular romance, and then sets out to discover what lies behind the legend that inspired him. In the course of a lively and amusing account of his four journeys into Tibet, Allen also gives us a controversial new reading of the country's early history, shattering our notions of Tibet as a Buddhist paradise and restoring the mysterious pre-Buddhist religion of Bon to its rightful place in Tibetan culture. He also locates the lost kingdom of Shang-shung and, in doing so, the original Shangri-La itself: in an astounding gorge beyond the Himalayas, full of extraordinary ruins.
