• W2398907548 abstract "I n this article I argue that traditional Tibet can best be regarded as a stateless society. Early travellers saw the Dalai Lama's realm as a theocratic variant of the centralized autocratic states familiar from elsewhere in Asia. However, the Dalai Lama at Lhasa did not rule over a strongly centralized state, and in any case most Tibetans lived outside the area of the nominal authority of the Lhasa government. The Tibetanspeaking societies of the Himalayas and the Tibetan plateau only occasionally and briefly experienced effective centralized control. The closest analogues to these societies, I suggest, are not the Buddhist and Hindu states of South, Southeast, and East Asia, but some of the Islamic societies of Central Asia and North Africa. Here, as in Tibet, we find decentralized polities, often with strong tribal elements, only occasionally forming wider statelike entities throughout the premodern period. There are also similarities between Tibetan religion and the Sufi and Shi'a forms of Islam in some of the regions. I will argue, correlatively, that many of the specific features of Tibetan Buddhism as compared to other kinds of Buddhism can be related to these basic contrasts in the societies concerned, rather than to the distinctions between the Buddhist schools prevailing in each area (Theravada, Mahayana, or Tantra). This article is part of an extended project that is concerned primarily with processes of knowledge (especially religious knowledge) and communication in traditional Tibet and similar societies. In subsequent work I intend also to provide a more detailed and nuanced picture of Tibetan religion and society, with their regional variations, than the outline sketch presented here." @default.
