COMMENTS:
RELIGION is a LISTSERV list for the scholarly discussion of religions.
It is sponsored by the Harvard Center for the Study of World Religions.
Unlike lists with similar names, RELIGION does not deal with matters of
personal faith or theology. Rather, it's aim is to encourage discussion
of the historical and comparative study and teaching of religions.
Relevant approaches include history, sociology, psychology, philosophy,
literary criticism, and anthropology. Relevant issues include
methodology in the study and teaching of religions; comparative themes
such as myth, ritual, mysticism, community, and inter-religious contact;
and issues specific to particular traditions. Some of the materials
available from the listserv:

Queen, Christopher. Syllabus from the seminar, Buddhism in America.
(1992). Available from RELIGION listserv BUDDAMER SYLLABUS.

Sperling, Elliot. Syllabus from the seminar, Tibetan Religions. (1993).
Available from RELIGION listserv TIBET SYLLABUS.

COMMENTS:
According to the compilers the database should deal "with the Hindu
tantra, Indian Buddhist tantra, the Bauls, any siddhas, Tibetan
Buddhism, Sahajiya, golden pill Taoism, Chen-yen, Shingon, and Taimitsu
Buddhism. We only leave Mongolian Buddhism, Bengali Sufism, and Tangut
Manicheaism off the initial list becasue we are too ignorant to make a
judgement as to the fit and/or bare existence of same. Possibly we
should consider serious work on Western alchemy as well."

COMMENTS:
According to the editors the newsletter will deal "with the Hindu
tantra, Indian Buddhist tantra, the Bauls, any siddhas, Tibetan
Buddhism, Sahajiya, golden pill Taoism, Chen-yen, Shingon, and Taimitsu
Buddhism. We only leave Mongolian Buddhism, Bengali Sufism, and Tangut
Manicheaism off the initial list becasue we are too ignorant to make a
judgement as to the fit and/or bare existence of same. Possibly we
should consider serious work on Western alchemy as well."

DATE OF CREATION: October 1987

COMMENTS:
The Tibet Information Network (TIN) is an independent, non-profit
making organisation which collects and analyses information about
the situation in Tibet. It works to help protect fundamental human
rights in Tibet by fostering the flow of information from Tibet
about current conditions in that country.

The organisation began when a group of western tourists witnessed
the shooting by Chinese police of a number of Tibetan
demonstrators in Lhasa in October, 1987. The authorities denied
that police had opened fire, expelled  journalists and tourists,
shut down telephone lines and impounded foreigners' photographs of
the incident.

As a result, a number of tourists came together to compile
detailed accounts of what they had seen and to send these to the
outside world. Later some of those who had witnessed similar
incidents formed TIN in order to continue the collection of
accurate and dispassionate information about the situation inside
Tibet.

TIN, now based in London, UK, continues to conduct research into
conditions in Tibet. It monitors developments in the political and
economic fields as well as matters relating to the environment,
the education and health services, religion and the arts in Tibet.
Particular attention is paid to issues that relate to the
observance or otherwise of human rights.

Information comes from researchers in the field, as well as from
official Chinese and Tibetan sources which are monitored in
London. Observations from foreign visitors and overseas press
reports are also assessed. Interviews, documents and secondary
sources are processed by a team of volunteer translators and
editors, and a selection of information is published in regular
News Updates. Urgent news reports are distributed by fax and
electronic mail to priority users. Detailed studies are published
as Special Reports; copies of original documents are also made
available, ecxept where the confidentiality of sources might be
compromised.

TIN uses computer communications to transmit material quickly
around the world. It maintains an on-going public conference
(tibet.information/reg.tibet) on the APC computer network
(including peacenet, greennet, geonet, nicarao, pegasus, web, and
igc) and has a special mail service for usenet/bitnet users.
Relevant materials are distributed to subscribing organisations
throughout the world including human rights organisations,
international agencies, governments, parliamentarians, and the
media.

The collection and distribution of the information is guided by
several fundamental principles. TIN aims to provide accurate and
objective information, and to be free from political bias or
affiliation. It therefore maintains its independence from any
other organisations as well as from governments. TIN supplies
information and research material to its subscribers irrespective
of their opinions and takes no part in campaigning or lobbying
activities.
