Les Tibétains Kapstein, Associate Professor in the Department of South Asian Languages and Civilizations Matthew T Les Belles Lettres, Sep 14, 2015

Dans le passé, le Tibet vécut isolé du reste du monde pour des raisons qui tiennent essentiellement à sa situation géographique. Il s'ensuivit qu’en plus d’avoir à baigner dans une sorte de mystère, notre pays, notre peuple et notre culture pâtirent également d’être les victimes d’une profonde méconnaissance. Plus récemment, l’intérêt grandissant suscité par le Tibet s’accompagna d’une surprenante multiplication des études académiques dont il devint l’objet, avec toutefois la particularité que celles-ci étaient le plus souvent limitées à des domaines hautement spécialisés. À l’inverse, ce que Matthew Kapstein nous livre ici, au fil d’un ouvrage copieux, est le fruit d’une investigation panoramique – les Tibétains et leur civilisation – menée dans une perspective historique elle-même d’une très grande ampleur. L’expertise et la clarté qu’a su apporter l’auteur à son écrit résultent d’une longue amitié tissée avec le Pays des neiges et son peuple dont il est un observateur attentif. Sa Sainteté le Dalaï-lama Éminent spécialiste du bouddhisme, tibétologue et indianiste, Matthew T. Kapstein est directeur d’études au sein de la Section des sciences religieuses de l’École pratique des hautes études de Paris et Numata Visiting Professor à l’université de Chicago. Il dirige également depuis 2009 l’équipe Tibet, Bhoutan et aires culturelles tibétaines du Centre de recherche sur les civilisations de l’Asie orientale. Il est notamment l’auteur de Reason’s Traces : Identity and Interpretation in Indian and Tibetan Buddhist Thought (2001) et Buddhism Between Tibet and China (2009).

Modern Tibetan literature and social change Lauran R. Hartley and Patricia Schiaffini-Vedani (Editors); foreword by Matthew T. Kapstein. Duke University Press Books, Duke University Press, Durham, 2008

"Modern Tibetan Literature and Social Change" is the first systematic and detailed overview of modern Tibetan literature, which has burgeoned only in the last thirty years. This comprehensive collection brings together fourteen pioneering scholars in the nascent field of Tibetan literary studies, including authors who are active in the Tibetan literary world itself. These scholars examine the literary output of Tibetan authors writing in Tibetan, Chinese, and English, both in Tibet and the Tibetan diaspora. The contributors explore the circumstances that led to the development of modern Tibetan literature, its continuities and breaks with classical Tibetan literary forms, and the ways that writers use forms such as magical realism, satire, and humor to negotiate literary freedom within the PRC.They provide crucial information about Tibetan writers' lives in China and abroad, the social and political contexts in which they write, and the literary-critical merits of their oeuvres. Along with deep social, cultural, and political analysis, this wealth of information clarifies the complex circumstances under which Tibetan writers negotiate the realities they face in the PRC and in the diaspora. The contributors consider not only poetry, short stories, and novels but also other forms of cultural production - such as literary magazines, films, and Web sites - that provide a public forum in the Tibetan areas of the PRC, where censorship and restrictions on public gatherings remain the norm. "Modern Tibetan Literature and Social Change" includes a previously unavailable list of modern Tibetan works translated into Western languages and a comprehensive English-language index of names, subjects, and terms

The Many Faces of King Gesar : Tibetan and Central Asian Studies in Homage to Rolf A. Stein Matthew T. Kapstein; Charles Ramble Koninklijke Brill N.V., Brill Academic Publishers, Leiden, 2022

The Tibetan Gesar epic, considered “the world's longest poem,” has been the object of countless retellings, translations, and academic studies in the two centuries since it was first introduced to European readers. In The Many Faces of Ling Gesar, its many aspects—historical, cultural, and literary—are surveyed for the first time in a single volume in English, addressed to both general readers and specialists. The original scholarship presented here, by international experts in Tibetan Studies, honours the contributions of Rolf A. Stein (1911-1999), whose studies of the Tibetan epic are the enduring standard in this field. With a foreword by Jean-Noël Robert, Collège de France.

Buddhist Meditation : Classic Teachings from Tibet Kurtis R. Schaeffer; Kurtis R. Schaeffer Penguin Random House LLC, Penguin Random House LLC, [N.p.], 2024

A Tibetan Buddhist anthology of accessible and authentic contemplative exercises to help cultivate innate yet undeveloped powers of mind, emotion, and body. A Penguin Classic Drawn from Tibet's rich contemplative literature, Buddhist Meditation offers classic exercises focused on the opportunities and challenges of life; cultivating inner calm; fostering a wider perspective on oneself in relationship to others; working with negative emotions, and the highest values of the Buddhist tradition, love and compassion. Several dozen meditation instructions are collected in twelve chapters. All major traditions of Tibetan Buddhism are represented. The book is structured on foundation practices, practice manuals that immerse the reader in the search for meaningful and compassionate responses to the ubiquity of human suffering, and in the contemplative techniques that translate that search into consequential action. Spiritual exercises introduce: 1, the opportunity for self-betterment and to be of benefit to other living beings: 2, the inescapable persistence of suffering in life, and the reality of death: 3, the workings of ethical cause and effect, otherwise known as karma and: 4, the ever-repeating succession of frustration known as cyclic existence, or samsara. The second set of foundation practices provide tools to build upon including: 5, taking refuge in Buddhism-a deep formal commitment to integrate Buddhist contemplative and ethical teachings into one's life: 6, cultivating love and compassion for all living beings: 7, clearing away cognitive, emotional, and behavioral impediments to actualizing love and compassion: 8, developing with wisdom and the experience and excellent qualities necessary to put love and compassion into practice and 9, dedicating oneself to a spiritual mentor to serve as a guide through this intensive program of training. Part existential philosophy, part ethics, part self-help program, part cosmology-the foundation exercises present a complete Buddhist picture of life, the ethical universe, and the first steps in making a positive impact in life for ourselves and others, steps anyone can begin to take by dedicating themselves to train in contemplative exercises.

In the presence of light: divine radiance and religious experience Matthew T. Kapstein; Catherine B. Asher; Raoul Birnbaum; Sarah Iles Johnston; Andrew Louth; Paul E. Muller-Ortega; Elliot R. Wolfson; Mimi Hall Yiengpruksawan; Hossein Ziai University Of Chicago Press; University of Chicago Press, Chicago, IL, United States, 2004

There is perhaps no greater constant in religious intuition and experience than the presence of light. In spiritual traditions East and West, light is not only ubiquitous but something that assumes strikingly similar forms in altogether different historical and cultural settings. This study examines light as an aspect of religiously valued experiences and its entailments for mystical theology, philosophy, politics, and religious art. The essays in this volume make an important contribution to religious studies by proposing that it is misleading to conceive of religious experience in terms of an irreconcilable dichotomy between universality and cultural construction. An esteemed group of contributors, representing the study of Asian and Western religious traditions from a range of disciplinary perspectives, suggests that attention to various forms of divine radiance shows that there is indeed a range of principles that, if not universal, are nevertheless very widely occurring and amenable to fruitful comparative inquiry. What results is a work of enormous scope, demonstrating compelling cross-connections that will be of value to scholars of comparative religions, mysticism, and the relationship between art and the sacred.

Reasons And Lives In Buddhist Traditions: Studies In Honor Of Matthew Kapstein (studies In Indian And Tibetan Buddhism) Arnold, Dan; Ducher, Cécile Ducher; Harter, Pierre-Julien Wisdom Publications, Inc, Studies in Indian and Tibetan Buddhism, Somerville, MA, 2019

The celebrated career of a venerated scholar inspires incisive new contributions to the field of Indian and Tibetan Buddhism. Particularly known for his groundbreaking and influential work in Tibetan studies, Matthew Kapstein is a true polymath in Buddhist and Asian studies more generally; possessing unsurpassed knowledge of Tibetan culture and civilization, he is also deeply grounded in Sanskrit and Indology, and his highly accomplished work in these cultural and civilizational areas has exemplified a whole range of disciplinary perspectives. Reflecting something of the astonishing range of Matthew Kapstein’s work and interests, this collection of essays pays tribute to a luminary in the field by exemplifying some of the diverse work in Buddhist and Asian studies that has been impacted by his scholarship and teaching. Engaging matters as diverse as the legal foundations of Tibetan religious thought, the teaching careers of modern Chinese Buddhists, the history of Bhutan, and the hermeneutical insights of Vasubandhu, these essays by students and colleagues of Matthew Kapstein are offered as testament to a singular scholar and teacher whose wide-ranging work is unified by a rare intellectual selflessness.

Functioning as material, intellectual, and symbolic object, the book has been an instrumental tool in the construction of Tibetan power and authority, and its history opens a crucial window onto the cultural, intellectual, and economic life of an immensely influential Buddhist society." "Spanning the fourteenth to the eighteenth centuries, Kurtis R. Schaeffer envisions the scholars and hermits, madmen and ministers, kings and queens who produced Tibet's massive canons. He describes how Tibetan scholars edited and printed works of religion, literature, art, and science and what this indicates about the interrelation of material and cultural practices. The Tibetan book is at once the embodiment of the Buddha's voice, a principal means of education, a source of tradition and authority, an economic product, a finely crafted aesthetic object, a medium of Buddhist written culture, and a symbol of the religion itself. Books stood at the center of debates on the role of libraries in religious institutions, the relative merits of oral and written teachings, and the economy of religion in Tibet." "A meticulous study that draws on more than 150 understudied Tibetan sources, The Culture of the Book in Tibet is the first volume to trace this singular history. Through a single object, Schaeffer accesses a greater understanding of the cultural and social history of the Tibetan plateau."--Jacket

The Life of the Buddha (Penguin Classics) Tenzin Chogyel (Author), Kurtis R. Schaeffer (Editor, Translator, Introduction) Penguin Group, Penguin classics, New York, New York, 2015

This is a call to mindfulness, dedicated to easing suffering. The story of Shakyamuni Buddha's epic journey to enlightenment is perhaps the most important narrative in the Buddhist tradition. Tenzin Chögyel's The Life of the Buddha, composed in the mid-eighteenth century and now with a new translation, is a masterly storyteller's rendition of the twelve acts of the Buddha. Chögyel's classical tale seamlessly weaves together the vast and the minute, the earthly and the celestial, reflecting the near-omnipresent aid of the gods alongside the Buddha's moving final reunion with his devoted son, Rahula.

Reason's traces : identity and interpretation in Indian and Tibetan Buddhist thought Matthew T. Kapstein Wisdom Publications, Studies in Indian and Tibetan Buddhism, Boston, Massachusetts, 2001

"Only Matthew Kapstein could present such a collection of essays. He brings to his exploration of Buddhist philosophy and hermeneutics an unmatched range of scholarly skills. He is an insightful and acutely analytic philosopher with a sure command of the Western philosophical canon and method; he has an encyclopedic knowledge of the Indian and Tibetan philosophical literature; his Sanskrit and Tibetan philology is superb; he is a lucid translator; he is completely at home in the living tradition of Tibetan Buddhism and has close working relationships with many eminent Tibetan scholars and access to a wealth of oral textual material and rarely-studied texts. He has also thought deeply about the enterprise of Buddhist Studies and cross-cultural scholarship. Kapstein brings his unique set of abilities to bear in this set of linked essays that together explore with great precision, insight and masterful scholarship a range of important issues in Indian and Tibetan philosophy, drawing on Western philosophical ideas, texts and techniques where appropriate, and shedding light not only on these philosophical traditions and the problems they address, but also on the study of Buddhist philosophy itself, and the place of this project philosophy as a whole." —Jay L Garfield, Professor of Philosophy, Smith College, Director, Five Colleges Tibetan Studies in India Program

The Many Faces of King Gesar : Tibetan and Central Asian Studies in Homage to Rolf A. Stein Matthew T. Kapstein, Charles Ramble Brill's Tibetan Studies Librar, Brill's Tibetan Studies Library, 51, 2022

The Tibetan Gesar epic, considered “the world’s longest poem,” has been the object of countless retellings, translations, and academic studies in the two centuries since it was first introduced to European readers. In The Many Faces of Ling Gesar, its many aspects—historical, cultural, and literary—are surveyed for the first time in a single volume in English, addressed to both general readers and specialists. The original scholarship presented here, by international experts in Tibetan Studies, honours the contributions of Rolf A. Stein (1911-1999), whose studies of the Tibetan epic are the enduring standard in this field. With a foreword by Jean-Noël Robert, Collège de France. Contributors are: Anne-Marie Blondeau, Chopa Dondrup, Estelle Dryland, Solomon George FitzHerbert, Gregory Forgues, Frances Garrett, Frantz Grenet, Lama Jabb, Matthew W.

The Rise of Wisdom Moon (Clay Sanskrit Library, 1) by Kṛṣṇamiśra; edited and translated by Matthew T. Kapstein; with a foreword by J.N. Mohanty New York University Press; JJC Foundation; Clay Sanskrit, The Clay Sanskrit library -- 52, Clay Sanskrit library -- 52., 1st ed., New York, New York State, 2009

"The Rise of Wisdom Moon was composed during the mid-eleventh century by Krishna mishra, an otherwise unknown poet in the service of the Chandella dynasty, whose cultural and religious capital was Khajuraho. The early popularity of Krishna mishra s work led to its frequent translation into the vernaculars of both North and South India, and even Persian as well. Famed as providing the enduring model of the allegorical play for all subsequent Sanskrit literature, The Rise of Wisdom Moon offers a satirical account of the conquest of the holy city of Benares by Nescience, of the war of liberation waged by the forces of Intuition, and of the freedom of the Inner Man that then follows the rise of Wisdom. But at the outset, when Nescience still has the upper hand, with minions like Lord Lust, such developments seem unlikely." --Book Jacket

Les Tibétains Matthew T. Kapstein Les Belles Lettres, 2015

Dans le passé, le Tibet vécut isolé du reste du monde pour des raisons qui tiennent essentiellement à sa situation géographique. Il s'ensuivit qu’en plus d’avoir à baigner dans une sorte de mystère, notre pays, notre peuple et notre culture pâtirent également d’être les victimes d’une profonde méconnaissance. Plus récemment, l’intérêt grandissant suscité par le Tibet s’accompagna d’une surprenante multiplication des études académiques dont il devint l’objet, avec toutefois la particularité que celles-ci étaient le plus souvent limitées à des domaines hautement spécialisés. À l’inverse, ce que Matthew Kapstein nous livre ici, au fil d’un ouvrage copieux, est le fruit d’une investigation panoramique – les Tibétains et leur civilisation – menée dans une perspective historique elle-même d’une très grande ampleur. L’expertise et la clarté qu’a su apporter l’auteur à son écrit résultent d’une longue amitié tissée avec le Pays des neiges et son peuple dont il est un observateur attentif. Sa Sainteté le Dalaï-lama Éminent spécialiste du bouddhisme, tibétologue et indianiste, Matthew T. Kapstein est directeur d’études au sein de la Section des sciences religieuses de l’École pratique des hautes études de Paris et Numata Visiting Professor à l’université de Chicago. Il dirige également depuis 2009 l’équipe Tibet, Bhoutan et aires culturelles tibétaines du Centre de recherche sur les civilisations de l’Asie orientale. Il est notamment l’auteur de Reason’s Traces : Identity and Interpretation in Indian and Tibetan Buddhist Thought (2001) et Buddhism Between Tibet and China (2009).

The Culture of the Book in Tibet Kurtis R. Schaeffer, Kurtis Schaeffer Columbia University Press, 2014;2011

Drawing on sources spanning the fourteenth through the eighteenth centuries, Kurtis R. Schaeffer envisions the scholars and hermits, madmen and ministers, kings and queens responsible for Tibet's massive canons. He describes how Tibetan scholars edited and printed works of religion, literature, art, and science and what this indicates about the interrelation of material and cultural practices. The Tibetan book is at once the embodiment of the Buddha's voice, a principal means of education, a source of tradition and authority, an economic product, a finely crafted aesthetic object, a medium of Buddhist written culture, and a symbol of the religion itself. A meticulous study that draws on more than 150 understudied Tibetan sources, __The Culture of the Book in Tibet__ is the first volume to trace this singular history, allowing for a greater understanding of the Tibetan plateau. The history of the book in Tibet involves more than literary trends and trade routes. Functioning as material, intellectual, and symbolic object, the book has been an instrumental tool in the construction of Tibetan power and authority, and its history opens a crucial window onto the cultural, intellectual, and economic life of an immensely influential Buddhist society.

Histories of Tibet: Essays in Honor of Leonard W. J. van der Kuijp (Studies in Indian and Tibetan Buddhism) Kurtis R. Schaeffer (editor), William A. McGrath (editor), Jue Liang (editor) Wisdom Publications MA, Studies in Indian and Tibetan Buddhism, 2023

The thirty-four essays in this volume follow the particular interests of Leonard van der Kuijp, whose groundbreaking research in Tibetan intellectual and cultural history imbued his students with an abiding sense of curiosity and discovery. As part of Leonard van der Kuijp’s research in Tibetan history, as he patiently and expertly revealed treasures of the Tibetan intellectual tradition in fourteenth-century Tsang, or seventeenth-century Lhasa, or eighteenth-century Amdo, he developed an international community of colleagues and students. The thirty-four essays in this volume follow the particular interests of the honoree and express the comprehensive research that his international cohort have engaged in alongside his generous tutelage over the course of forty years. He imbued his students with the abiding sense of curiosity and discovery that can be experienced through every one of his writings, and that can be found as well in these new essays in intellectual, cultural, and institutional history by Christopher Beckwith, the late Hubert Decleer, Franz-Karl Ehrhard, Jörg Heimbel and David Jackson, Isabelle Henrion-Dourcy, Nathan Hill, Matthew Kapstein, Kurtis Schaeffer, Michael Witzel, Allison Aitken, Yael Bentor, Pieter Verhagen, Todd Lewis, William McGrath, Peter Schwieger, Gray Tuttle, and others.
