SUMMARY:All Compounded Things are Subject to Decay: an Archaeology of Tibe
 tan Buddhism - Professor Mark Aldenderfer

DESCRIPTION:For most westerners\, Buddhism is timeless\, and Tibet remote 
 and romantic. For the historical Buddha\, his last words remind us of the 
 impermanence of all things. For the archaeologist\, however\, the material
  expression of Buddhism on the Tibetan Plateau offers insights into the tr
 ansformation and evolution of Buddhist thought as it encounters indigenous
 \, pre-Buddhist conceptions of landscape and religion\, borrowings of ritu
 al from Central and East Asia\, and the changing political fortunes of the
  emerging Tibetan empire.
