Description: Dissertation study of Zhwa-lu Monastery (a.k.a. Shalu Monastery or Zhalu), a Tibetan Buddhist Monastery which is located in the traditional region of Tsang (Tib. Gtsang) in Tibet and associated with the Sakya School. The study is based largely on the biographical collection known as the "Mkhan brgyud rnam thar" by Zhwa-lu Ri-sbug Sprul-sku Blo-gsal-bstan-skyong (b. 1804), but is also supplemented with extensive textual and field research. Includes an annotated English translation of the first two chapters of the Mkhan brgyud rnam thar, as well as brief histories of nearby Ri-phug-byang-gling (a.k.a Riphuk hermitage) and Rgyan gong gtsug lag khang (a.k.a. Gyengong Temple).
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (pages 325-335) and index.

In English, with appendix and index in romanized Tibetan.
