内容説明
Danzan Ravjaa (1803-1856), officially known as the Fifth Noyon Incarnate Lama of the Gobi Desert, is perhaps Mongolia's most beloved saint. The Fourth had caused so many scandals that the Manchu Emperor banned his reincarnation. Consequently, when the young child was enthroned as the Fifth, the Emperor issued an edict of execution on the boy and all associated with the event. The child was only saved by the personal intervention of the Panchen Lama and a letter of appeal from the young Ninth Dalai Lama. Their efforts proved well worthwhile, for the boy went on to become one of the greatest mystics and creative geniuses of 19th-century Mongolia. "Lama of the Gobi" is an investigative account of the life and times of this extraordinary man. It takes the reader on a journey through Mongolian history, Tibetan Buddhism and the traditions of nomadic culture, to generate an appreciation of the man and the legends that surround him. This revealing story winds its way from Danzan Ravjaa's mythic past until the present day - as the people of the Gobi Desert still faithfully maintain his cult-like status.

An important book about an important historical figure
2009/10/9
形式:ペーパーバック|Amazonが確認した購入
The life and the work of Danzan Ravjaa is widely known among the nomads of the Gobi desert in Mongolia, but virtually unknown anywhere else. There are so many sides from which you can look at this historical figure: He was a Living Buddha, a social reformer (if not revolutionary), a healer, a poet, a politician and much more. He built schools for the nomads' children, fought for womens' rights, wrote socially critical theater plays and an epic opera and even built his own opera house in the middle of the desert. He was not only critical towards the then ruling Manchu government, but also fought corruption among the Buddhist establishment. This is a man the world should know about and Michael Kohn gives a western audience a very fine introduction into this story for the very first time. Kohn writes from the viewpoint of a professional journalist and did a lot of research for this book; But at the same time he also transmits the story behind the stories, which is maybe even more important to understand that Danzan Ravjaa also has a message for today's people living in the west, not only for the Gobi's herders of the 19th century. Five stars for an important book and let's hope that there is more to come!

Mongolia's Devine Madman
2011/1/31
形式:ペーパーバック
A very good attempt to write a colorful book by someone with the very best motivation.
Danzan Ravjaa was something of a bigger then life figure, a Mongolian Gendun Chophel "devine madman" and highly revered Tulku. Book is very small and an easy read.
Found it it by sitting down on a floor of B&N and landing right in front of it, very happy.

Thrilling like fiction!!!
2009/11/24
形式:ペーパーバック
Can History be as thrilling as fiction?
It can.
Michael Cohens Lama of the Gobi" covers a time span of more than 200 years of Mongolian history - and although touching rather complicated political and religious inflictions the author manages to stay exceedingly entertaining, yet always precise and within journalistic investigation.
Even when it comes to the real complicated field of tantric Yogi practise the book keeps its pragmatic style with tastefull irony.
The Legacy of Danzaan Ravjaa is anything else but dead history!!! Some crates of Danzaan Ravjaas treasure were unearthed August 1st 2009 thanks to Michael Cohens book.
[...]
And this is most likely not the end of the story...
Thank you so much Michael!!!
Your book was more than the most needed base of information for the Treasure Hunt.
It was highly inspiring - and definitely changed my life.
