Gesamtherstellung: Allgauer Zeitungsverlag GmbH, Kempten, Allgau Printed in Germ~y Editor's Preface The Committee for Central Asian Studies of the Bavarian Academy of Sciences is pleased that the Proceedings of the 4th International Seminar on Tibetan Studies are now published as volume II of the series Studia Tibetica. It would not have been possible to organise the scholarly meeting at Hohenkam mer and Munchen without the substantial assistance provided by several institutions and persons and the gratitude of the organisers has been duly expressed in the Preface. The editing and publishing of the many contributions to the Seminar has been an exacting task for which I am greatly indebted to Dr. Helga Uebach and Dr. J. Panglung. They have not only shouldered the considerable burden of preparing the meeting but also the no less difficult task of bringing the individual articles submitted by the participants into a publishable shape. The great diversity of subject matter in these contributions in several different languages has required an unusual attention to detail in editing the manuscripts for publication. For the excellent typography of sometimes rather complicated texts I am indebted to the Allgauer Zeitungsverlag GmbH. A particular debt of gratitude is owed to institutions and persons whose financial assistance has made this publication possible, namely, the Bavarian Academy of Sci ences, the Society of Friends of the Bavarian Academy of Sciences and, above all, the unfailing help given by Senator Gunther Klinge and Mrs. Gertraud Klinge. The Proceedings will certainly revive the memories of a stimulating scholarly encounter for the participants whose contributions are now available in print. It is also to be hoped that the Proceedings will be a testimony of the great vitality of Tibetan studies which have made such progress in many countries during the last few years. There is hardly a field for which the volume does not include substantial research increasing our knowledge of Tibetan civilisation in all its aspects, and it may be assumed that the contents will help to stimulate more scholarly research on one of the most fascinating cultures of Asia.

In continuation Michael Aris convened the next (Second) Seminar "open to all scholars witb a major interest in Tibetan Studies" at St John's College, Oxford, in 1979, while Barbara Nimri Aziz organised tbe third one at Columbia University, N ew York, in 1982. The proceedings of tbese conferences have been duly published: Martin Brauen and Per Kvaeme: Tibetan Studies presented at the Seminar of Young Tibetologists, Zurich, June 26-July 1, 1977, Zurich 1978; " Michael Aris and Aung San Suu Kyi: Tibetan Studies in Honour of Hugh Richardson, Proceedings of the.International Seminar on Tibetan Studies, Oxford 1979, Warminster 1980; Barbara Nimri Aziz and Matthew Kapstein: Soundings in Tibetan Civilization, Proceedings of the 1982 Seminar of the International Association for Tibetan Studies held at Columbia University, New Delhi 1985, dedicated to the late Turrell V. Wylie. In tbe Fourth Seminar more tban one hundred colleagues from twenty-two nations participated. Due to tbis number tbe schedule was ratber tight, and we failed to keep to the rule established in tbe preceeding seminars that each participant should read a paper, this time accepting observers as well. During tbe Seminar seventy-nine papers were delivered. Since many participants did not ultimately submit their papers for publication for various reasons, only fifty-five of tbe papers are presented in tbis volume. The paper read by Herbert Franke has since been published in tbe Tucci-Festschrift, Orientalia Iosephi Tucci Memoriae Dicata, SOR LVI,l, Roma 1985, p. 401-416. The paper of Amy Heller, who was unable to attend personally, has been included, and our papers, originally delivered at the Csoma de Koros Symposium at Visegrad, are published here for tbe first time. We refrained this time from demanding a uniform length for each paper, so as to facilitate the inclusion of texts where tbe autbors felt it necessary to elaborate tbe papers. However, we gratefully acknowledge that the autbo"rs kept to tbe transliteration system required for our Kommission's series, tbe specimen of which has been published in tbe first volume. Apart from introducing a standard system of abbreviations for tbe most frequent titles and for typographical uniformity, tbe contributions have not been altered in any way. The articles are tbus in tbe author's own responsibility. It would neitber have been possible to convene tbe Fourth Seminar nor to publish the proceedings witbout generous personal and institutional assistance. We express our sincere thanks to Prof. Dr. Dr. Herbert Franke, head of tbe Kommission fiir zentralasiatische Studien, tben President of the Baye rische Akademie der Wissenschaften, who from tbe very beginning supported tbe idea of convening tbe Seminar. His experience and advise were a great benefit. The Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft provided financial support for tbe organisation of the Seminar as well as for airtickets and/or the daily allowances of tbe participating colleagues from Eastern European countries, India, Tibet and tbe People's Republic of China. Last b':'t not least, we sincerely tbank Mrs Gertraud Klinge for her generousity, which enabled us to support financially the participation of colleagues who otherwise would not have been able to attend. 12 Preface We are obliged to tbe Bayerische Staatsbibliothek, represented by Dr. Karl Dachs, Head of tbe Manuscript Department, and our colleague Dr. Giinter Gronbold, Head of tbe Soutb Asia Depart ment, who greatly contributed to tbe success of tbe Seminar by arranging the exhibition "Tibetica in der Bayeriscben Staatsbibliotbek', the catalogue of which was presented to tbe participants. Before and after tbe Seminar, many participants took advantage of tbe large Tibetan collection of tbe Library and tbe ever-ready helpfulness of Giinter Gronbold. The publication of tbis volume would not have been realised witbout the financial help of Mrs Gertraud Klinge and Mr Giintber Klinge and a grant of the Gesellschaft der Freunde der Bayerischen Akademie der Wissenschaften. We also owe tbanks to Mrs Irene Brugger, retired clerk of the Academy, who during the Seminar took care of many practical problems, the most fatiguing extension of permits, tbe reconfirmation of airtickets etc. We tbank our graphical designers Mr G. Sturm and Mr F. Weinrich, who kindly drew maps and graphics for the volume. Finally, we want to tbank Dr. Peter Mohr for his computer expertise witb tbe insertion of Chinese characters. Helga Uebach J ampa L. Panglung The International Association for Tibetan Studies (IATS) The International Association for Tibetan Studies was founded in 1979 on the occasion of tbe (Second) Seminar at Oxford. In tbe business meeting of tbe (Third) Seminar at New York/Arden House, tbe need for statutes and a formal head of IATS had been expressed. On tbe same occasion, Andras Rona Tas was elected President. The convener of the next Seminar had tbe task of prep'tring a draft of tbe statutes. The statutes were discussed and passed at the business meeting at Hohenkammer, but since some formal corrections of terms and a general improvement of tbe English were still necessary, tbe statutes will have to be passed definitively at tbe next Seminar. In tbe statutes an advisory board and a secretary general have been introduced. Elected as members of tbe board were: Michael Aris Roy Andrew Miller Barbara Nimri Aziz Katsumi Mimalti Anne-Marie Blondeau Marceline de Montmollin Janet Gyatso Luciano Petech Samten G. Karmay Ernst Steinkellner Per Kvaerne Zhang Liansheng Furthermore Prof. Dr. Shoren Ihara was commissioned to convene tbe next Seminar at tbe Naritasan Institute for Buddhist Studies in 1989.
