Forging the Golden Urn: The Qing Empire and the Politics of Reincarnation in Tibet - Studies of the Weatherhead East Asian Institute, Columbia University
Oidtmann, Max (Professor, Insitute of Sinology, LMU Munich)
A Qing law mandated that the reincarnations of prominent Tibetan Buddhist monks be identified by drawing lots from a golden urn. In Forging the Golden Urn, Max Oidtmann traces how a Chinese bureaucratic technology was exported to the Tibetan and Mongolian regions of the Qing empire and transformed into a ritual for authenticating reincarnations.
