Introducing Tibetan Buddhism Chapter 9: Tibetan Buddhism and Tibetan identity

Main topics covered Introduction Local and regional identity: local gods, lineages, clans, households Local and regional identity: Buddhist saints and pilgrimage sites Regional and national identity: Buddhism as a unifying factor The stories of Ling Gesar Conclusion

Key points 1 Tibetan identity was mostly regional or local until recent times. Nationalism, as elsewhere in the world, was largely a modern invention. However, Tibetan regions as a whole had a common written language, a largely shared religion and many shared cultural items. Local and regional identity was linked with cults of local and household deities, and local sacred places. The la or spirit-essence was thought of as connected with the surrounding environment. Aristocratic families often claimed descent from local mountain-gods. Sang offerings to the local gods remain an important part of Tibetan religion, often carried out in a style strongly influenced by Buddhism.

Key points 2 Households are an important building block of Tibetan communities and the continuation of households through time is a significant value. Lineage or family descent is also important, especially among the nomadic pastoralist communities.

Key points 3 Many important pilgrimage sites throughout Tibet and the Himalayas are linked to important Tibet-wide figures of history and legend, including Guru Padmasambhava and the epic hero Ling Gesar.

Key points 4 Tibetan nationalism began to develop in the 1920s, but has become a significant force mainly in resistance to Chinese rule from the 1950s onwards.
