Prisoners of Shangri-La is a provocative analysis of the romance of Tibet, a romance that, even as it is invoked by Tibetan lamas living in exile, ultimately imprisons those who seek the goal of Tibetan independence from Chinese occupation. "Lopez lifts the veil on America's romantic vision of Tibet to reveal a country and a spiritual history more complex and less ideal than popular perceptions allow. . . . Lively and engaging, Lopez's book raises important questions about how Eastern religions are often co-opted, assimilated and misunderstood by Western culture."--Publishers Weekly "Proceeding with care and precision, Lopez reveals the extent to which scholars have behaved like intellectual colonialists. . . . Someone had to burst the bubble of pop Tibetology, and few could have done it as resoundingly as Lopez."--Booklist "Fascinating. . . [A] provocative exploration. Lopez conveys the full dizziness of the Western encounter with Tibet and Tibetan Buddhism."--Fred Pheil, Tricycle: The Buddhist Review "A timely and courageous exploration. . . . [Lopez's] book will sharpen the terms of the debate over what the Tibetans and their observers can or should be doing about the place and the idea of Tibet. And that alone is what will give us all back our Shambhala."--Jonathan Spence, Lingua Franca Book Review "Lopez's most important theme is that we should be wary of the idea . . . that Tibet has what the West lacks, that if we were only to look there we would find the answers to our problems. Lopez's book shows that, on the contrary, when the West has looked at Tibet, all that it has seen is a distorted reflection of itself."--Ben Jackson, Times Higher Education Supplement… (meer)

> Avec cet article, nous donnons suite au marque-pages du numéro 252 des Carnets, centré sur la thématique du bouddhisme.
Après Le Bouddhisme, de Bernard Faure, nous abordons à présent Fascination tibétaine. Du bouddhisme, de l'Occident et de quelques mythes (Ed. Autrement), de Donald S. Lopez, professeur d’études tibétaines et bouddhiques à l’université du Michigan. L’ouvrage analyse de quelle manière l’imagination de l’Occident s’est nourrie d’un bouddhisme tibétain largement fantasmé - tant en ce qui concerne le bouddhisme qu’en ce qui concerne les Tibétains - et combien ce bouddhisme s’est coulé, pour une large part, dans cet imaginaire au risque de perdre, par l’Occident, sa remarquable spécificité culturelle mais en gagnant, moyennant certaines modernisations, immensément plus en audience.
Enfin, Le Bouddhisme mondialisé. Une perspective sociologique sur la globalisation du religieux (Ed. Ellipses) est une solide étude sociologique de Raphaël Liogier, maître de conférences des Universités à l’IEP d’Aix-en-Provence, par laquelle la complexité des courants bouddhistes pris dans la globalisation, « mêlant citoyenneté planétaire et développement personnel », est comprise dans une « stratégie » de déterritorialisation géographique mais aussi idéologique. Le bouddhisme se présentant ainsi partout comme une voie mondiale de salut : religieuse, sociale et politique. Aspect « dans le siècle » que l’on ignore généralement.
Le bouddhisme est pris dans le mouvement de sécularisation à tel point que l’on peut par exemple être zen par publicité interposée et dire partager les valeurs du Dalaï lama après avoir vu au cinéma Little Bouddha. Ainsi, le bouddhisme devient une imprécise sagesse de tous les jours au prix d’une perte du sacré. (Guy LECCIA)

This is an excellent guide to fallacies regarding Tibet made by Western writers and travelers. Occasionally, Lopez lapses into the laxness of Foucaultian irony; however, these languors are made up for in bursts of startling original thinking. I relished his meditation on how authority to speak for foreign cultures is granted to some writers and not to others. This topic has been discussed elsewhere, but here Lopez provides a context in which an obviously fictional "true story," The Third Eye by Lobsang Rampa (actually Cyril Hoskin from Devon), became an inspiration for a generation of Tibetologists. In another interesting chapter, the author describes the distortions applied to Tibetan Buddhism as it became disseminated in the West, changing monastic practice to suit a laity of individual worshipers steeped in Christian tradition. He also shows how the political and social needs of the Tibetan diaspora have driven further misconceptions. ( )
