At a
time when Tibetan religious tradition is all too often observed and
described only through the looking glass of spiritualistic and/or
political ideologies, the Venetian Institute ‘Venezia e l’Oriente” of
the Giorgio Cini Foundation arranged a meeting of some of the most
eminent researchers at international level so that they could discuss
issues of particular significance both to Tibetological research as
well as to Indological and Sinological studies
