Acknowledgments
A book is never just the work of a single person and I have benefited immensely from conversations with innumerable others. Space prohibits mentioning everyone by name, but I trust you will recognize your influence on my thinking and writing in the pages that follow. To my Tibetan friends and interlocutors who over the years have advised and guided this work, the relationships we have cultivated are deeply meaningful and will hopefully extend over many lives. Throughout the past decade, Monica Minnegal and Peter D. Dwyer have generously offered their friendship, time, and energy to me in numerous ways, not least through incisive and insightful intellectual discussions. I am indebted to them for their thoughtful engagement with my work.
