II – Required Essay (80 pts) –
Instructions:
Your
essay should be thoughtfully constructed and display more than a
superficial level of analysis. You will be allowed to write on the
bottom and backside of the quiz sheet but NO other additional space will be
provided or accepted.
Specific examples to support your analysis is expected
(this does not mean simply describing the scenes but also explicitly
revealing the meaning). Your answer must explicitly refer
to the book, In Search of the Panchen Lama.
- Some scholars have suggested Tibetan Buddhism is better understood NOT as a highly centralized and structured religion (in the manner of many western religions) but rather a set of diverse tensions: intellectual, monastic, politics and religion. Given the history of the Panchen and Dalai Lamas, the nature of Tibetan sacred gnas, and the varied acceptance of "tantric" practices of Tibetan Buddhism, how is this assessment true (or false)?
