With The Tibetans In Tent And Temple: Narrative Of Four Years' Residence On The Tibetan Borders, And Of A Journey Into The Far Interior

About the Book: - The author has attempted to narrate in a short the events of four years’ residence in tent and temple and travel into the far interior among the Tibetans between 1895-1899. Her close contact with the people during four years has enabled her to explore the Tibetans customs, beliefs and social conditions to a maximum possible extent. Moreover, the work does not aim at literary finish, for it has been elaborated under the stress of many public engagements. She may succeed in perpetuating and deepening the widespread interest in the evangelization of this hilly yet icy terrain to a large extent in incorporating in the narrative as many data as possible. The map accompanying the book shows the route of the last journey undertaken in 1898. The subject of the book is very interesting in researchers’ point of view. About the Author: - Susanna ‘Susie’ Carson Rijnhart, (later Moyes, 1868 – 1908) was a Canadian medical doctor, Protestant missionary, and Tibetan explorer. She was the second Western woman known to have visited Tibet, after Annie Royle Taylor. In mid-1895, the Rijnharts and their colleague, William Neil Ferguson, arrived at their destination of Lusar, a small village servicing the Kumbum, one of the largest and most important Tibetan Buddhist monasteries. Kumbum was home to about 3,600 monks. The immediate objective of the Rijnharts was to learn Tibetan and work among the Tibetans. Their ultimate ambition was to reach Lhasa, the remote and forbidden capital of Tibet, unvisited by Westerners since 1846.
