1 In this respect, Cartelli's volume finds a parallel in Kurtis Schaeffer's recent article about Tibetan Poetry on Mount Wutai. Schaeffer, Kurtis R., “Tibetan Poetry on Wutai Shan,” Journal of the International Association of Tibetan Studies 6 (December 2011), 215–42.Google Scholar

2 If the poem cycle “Songs of Mount Wutai” is, as Cartelli points out, distinct from the other Mount Wutai poems from Dunhuang insofar as it mentions Mañjuśrī and no other divine beings, temples, or monks familiar in these materials, for instance, what does this suggest about the desires of the author(s) or the needs of the communities that received and transmitted these poems (p. 84)?
