Du Yongbin
- Tibetan
Studies in
Contemporary
China: The
Styles and
Characteristics
Tibetan studies
is a discipline
both about
geography and
society of
Tibetan areas,
and about
history and
today of the
Tibetans. China
is the hometown
of Tibetan
studies, and
Tibetan studies
in China have a
long history.
Entered into
modern times,
particularly,
the term
Tibetology was
created by
Hungary
Tibetologist
Cosma since
1830s,Tibetan
studies had been
considered as an
independent
discipline from
humane studies,
and it become a
popular
discipline in
the world.

Present day
Tibetans’ views
on reincarnate
lamas
Tibetan
reincarnate lama
has already
existed for more
than eight
hundreds years.
The reincarnate
lama is the
highest
religious
practitioner in
Tibetan
Buddhism. An
incarnate lama
is someone that
has gone through
the process of
reincarnation in
order to carry
on the religious
status and
position of the
reincarnate
lamas.
This article
relies on a
combination of
questionnaires
and interviews
in an attempt to
understand
present day
Tibetans’ basic
opinions of and
attitudes
towards
reincarnate
lamas.
This study
employs survey
and intensive
interview as its
data collection
methods to
investigate
Tibetan’s
general
perspective on
and attitude to
reincarnate
lamas.
reincarnate lama
is a special
group among
Tibetan
religious elite.
In fact, there
are at least
three aspects of
reincarnate
lamas research:
Institutional
research,
identification
research and
social impact
research. The
content I am
going to talk to
you today is
basically an
identification
or
recognition-level
research.

- Tibetan
Legislation on
Tibetan language
and Its
Linguistic
Rights and
Interests
Protection - A
Comparative
Study with
European
Legislation on
Minority
Languages China
Tibetology
Research Centre
The legislation
on Tibetan
language, as an
important part
of Chinese
legislation on
minority
languages, is
not only closely
related to the
development of
Tibetan society
and Tibetan
language status,
but also to
“Constitution of
the People’s
Republic of
China”, “Law of
the Peoples
Republic of
China on
Regional
National
Autonomy”, “Law
of the People's
Republic of
China on the
Standard Spoken
and Written
Chinese
Language” and
Chinese policies
on minority
languages. The
policy on
Tibetan language
has its own
ethnic features
but also
represents the
characters of
Chinese policy
on all of the
other minority
languages.

The Practice of
Tibetan Buddhist
Nuns
In the long
course of human
history, each
area and nation
has its own
different
religious
Life-style and
their different
manifestation in
different
times. After
Buddhism entered
Tibet, it had
chosen its
existence in the
process of
Tibetanization.
As the religious
females and
women
practitioners
who acted as one
of vehicle
spreading and
implementing
Buddhism, they
had set up their
optimal value of
life and
religion
behavioral
pattern ,with
distinctive
individuality.
The paper will
illustrate the
practice of the
Tibetan Buddhist
nuns from 3
aspects.
