Tholing and Guge religious-political networks
Tholing (Mtho gling)
Monastic foundations, inscriptions, and later court histories reveal royal support for Buddhist institutions. Translation and building were connected to resources, work, and political legitimacy.
Paysages de hauts plateaux, communautés e institutions cambiantes
Plateaux, vallées et paysages régionaux connectés
Upper Sutlej and western Himalayan connections joined plateau and mountain valleys. Present borders do not define the reach of ancient affiliations.
Organisation politique et échelle communautaire
Rulers, monastic leaders, donors, and communities held different powers. Patronage networks cannot be reduced to one homogeneous nation.
Transformation ultérieure, patrimoine vivant et réception moderne
Surviving monuments and living religious communities deserve care. A royal genealogy or sacred attribution cannot establish present identity or territory.
Research examines edicts and institutional foundations together.
The project studies fifteenth-century authors describing earlier transformations.
The prayer catalogue explicitly questions a proposed identification with Tholing.
