PREFACE
This
Pilgrim's Guide
is based upon
Kbyentse's Guide to the Holy
Places of Central' Tibet.
Jarnyang Kyentse Wangpo (1820-92), a
Khampa lama, made frequent, extended pilgrimages to Central
Tibet and wrote his guide at the end of a long life as
a
contribution to the old and popular genre of Tibetan literature
called
neyik,
guides to pilgrirnage. Kyentse Rimpoche was no
ordinary larna. One of the greatest figures in the eastern Tibetan
eclectic renaissance of the last century, his scholarship and
wisdom combined to give his work the highest mark of authority
and integrity. His
Guide
was translated into English-and partially
annotated by the notable Italian scholar Alfonsa Ferrari, who
never visited the East and who died before she could complete her
work. The annotation was completed by another Italian scholar,
Luciano Petech. His contribution was augmented by Hugh
Richardson, the last British Resident in Lhasa. Richardson's
clear, concise additions to the notes, detailing observations
compiled during his wide travels in Central Tibet over several
years, are of vital importance for information on the pre-1959
state of various monasteries. For their annotation, the Italian
scholars relied heavily on the accounts of their rnaster, Giuseppe
Tucci, derived from his short journey to Central Tibet in 1948.
