SUMMARY:Indigenous Narrative: The Dynamic Biographies of gShen-rab Mi-bo\, 
 Founder of the Tibetan Bon Religion
DESCRIPTION:Co-sponsored with the Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies and t
 he Committee on Inner Asian and Altaic Studies\, Harvard University\n\nThi
 s talk delves into the transformation of gShen-rab Mi-bo's life stories wi
 thin the Tibetan Bon religion\, examining three significant texts: mDo 'du
 s\, mdo gzer mig\, and mdo dri med gzi brjid. Each biography\, emerging fr
 om distinct historical contexts\, showcases the evolving nature of Bon rel
 igious thought and its interaction with cultural influences. The mDo 'dus\
 , a concise tenth-century work\, is recognized as an early foundational na
 rrative. mdo gzer mig\, believed to originate in the eleventh century\, is
  essential for understanding the integration of Buddhist elements within B
 on literature. The expansive mdo dri med gzi brjid\, from the fourteenth c
 entury\, enriches the narrative tapestry with folkloric and cultural detai
 ls\, demonstrating how oral traditions have shaped its development. This e
 xploration highlights the adaptive storytelling of the Bon tradition\, ref
 lecting shifts in historical and cultural landscapes.
