Abstract: (Show)

The article attempts to recharacterize the ideas of the Sino-Tibetan relationship. Recognizing the patron-priest paradigm as unsatisfactory, Dawa Norbu investigates how this classification requires assumptions based on Western legal conceptions, as well as assumptions about the religiosity of Chinese emperors. Instead, Dawa Norbu attempts to place the relationship amidst numerous historical forces and ideological influences. (Mark Premo-Hopkins 2004-03-08)
