总结:This text examines the religious biography of Shardza Tashi Gyaltsen (1859-1934), the most significant modern figure representing the Tibetan BÒn religion, a vital minority tradition underrepresented in Tibetan studies. The work is based on periods of fieldwork conducted in eastern Tibet and in the BÒn community in India, where traditional Tibetan scholars collaborated closely on the project. Utilizing close readings of two versions of Shardza's life-story, along with oral history collected in BÒn communities, the text presents and interprets the biographical image of this major figure, culminating in the first English translation of his remarkable life-story
