"In the aftermath of the cataclysmic Maoist period, three Tibetan Buddhist scholars
living and working in the People's Republic of China became intellectual heroes. Renowned
as the "Three Polymaths," Tséten Zhabdrung (1910-1985), Mugé Samten (1914-1993),
and Dungkar Lozang Trinlé (1927-1997) earned this symbolic title for their efforts
to keep the lamp of the Dharma lit even in the darkest hour of Tibetan history. Lineages
of the Literary reveals how the Three Polymaths negotiated the political tides of
the twentieth century, shedding new light on Sino-Tibetan relations and Buddhism during
this turbulent era. Nicole Willock explores their contributions to reviving Tibetan
Buddhism, expanding Tibetan literary arts, and pioneering Tibetan studies as an academic
discipline. Her sophisticated reading of Tibetan-language sources vivifies the capacious
literary world of the Three Polymaths, including autobiography, Buddhist philosophy,
poetic theory, and historiography. Whereas prevailing state-centric accounts offer
Tibetan religious figures in China only two roles, collaborator or resistance fighter,
Willock shows how the Three Polymaths offer an alternative model of agency. She illuminates
how they by turns safeguarded, taught, and celebrated Tibetan Buddhist knowledge,
practices, and institutions after their near destruction during the Cultural Revolution.
An interdisciplinary work spanning religious studies, history, literary studies, and
social theory, Lineages of the Literary offers new insight into the categories of
religion and the secular, the role of Tibetan Buddhist leaders in modern China, and
the contested ground of Tibet"
