| 摘要 | How do we make sense of suffering and illness? How can renunciation be understood in the midst of illness in the Tibetan Buddhist context? This thesis argues that according to the hagiographies and ritual texts of the Nun Palmo tradition, written and compiled by the lineage-holders of the practices of a tenth or early eleventh century Kashmirian or Indian Buddhist nun who contracted leprosy, and the canonical texts attributed to her, struggle is necessary for liberation. Struggle in the form of illness results in renunciation and reconceptualization of worldly identity, setting a course (through a fasting ascetic-devotional practice) of a healing and teaching within the world associated with the bodhisattva Avalokitesvara. Findings from ethnographic work in Nepal and Tibet and works by Simone Weil, Ariel Glucklick, David Bakan, and others supplement textual analyses. |
