توضیحات
Richly contextualized and in succinct, fluent English, Gu ru ‘phrin las is intimately familiar but also removed from the world he describes. His stories are more than personal childhood reminiscences for they are collective memories of the many Tibetans with a herding background who grew up in a black yak-hair tent (including me) but who now rarely see such a tent in their homeland. While the stories illustrate a life that might be described as unsophisticated and impoverished, dotted with moments of sincere compassion, they do not avoid the complex brutality and revengeful emotions that are also an integral part of this life.
Antagonistic values and tangled emotions are displayed mirror-like, one reflecting the other. A little girl admires children who had changed their grass-insoles during Lo sar ‘Tibetan New Year’, but these same children admire her for being allowed to sleep as long as she wants. A boys understanding and interpretation of his brother, ‘the crazy monk,’ is more profound than his father’s. Eight yaks paid for the death of a poor family’s son is compared to eighty yaks in compensation for the revenge death of a rich familys son.
These stories challenge the reader in a multitude of ways. Are they memories or imaginings, fictional creations or lived realities, remnants of the past or tomorrow’s authenticities?

Gu ru ‘phrin las, a local Tibetan, created a life for himself beyond his home herding community on the Tibet Plateau, and when he was granted an opportunity to study in a major Chinese city. It is within this physical remove from his birthplace that he recounts stories based on memories of community life and relationships that a time-traveler would find little changed from a thousand years ago. Grandparents, parents, children, boys, girls, monks, customs, patterns of thought, and beliefs are revealed, reflecting a social existence in sharp contrast with what many might consider ‘ideal community life.’
These stories are a testimony to fundamental social transformations in the last few decades – changes that continue today at an exponential rate as the old is dismantled and replaced by the novel. With this in mind, engaging these narratives is a revelatory deciphering of embedded core values and an informed interrogation of tradition.

Gu ru ‘phrin las echoes his grandmother’s voice in nineteen short stories, vividly narrating unadulterated Plateau life in a Tibetan herding community. While the grassland is fragrant flowers and colorful rainbows of aching beauty, it is also harsh winter snowstorms and their lethal consequences. Yak-hair tents, herding livestock, hunting wildlife, compassion and sin, challenges confronting women, moving between summer and winter pastures, young men’s rivalry and bloody conflicts over girls, bandits and livestock theft, complex mental turmoil, and much more are featured. Why is it taboo for a guest to visit a family with an infant at night? Why should women not butcher animals? Why do herders kill lambs during blizzards? This pool of accounts is a rich ethnographic resource characterizing herding lives and is a must read for those interested in Plateau lives.

This extraordinary collection of nineteen thoughtfully written stories reflects various aspects of a traditional herding society before being swept away by the speedy waves of modernity. The stories not only open a window for curious outsiders eager to glimpse the challenging herding way of life, but also serve an educational purpose, ensuring that future generations better understand people’s cognitive perception of religion, animals, relationships, and methods of dealing with daily life dilemmas.

Gu ru’ phrin las’ Remembering Tomorrow is a short story collection profoundly capturing the very essence of the premodern, A mdo Tibetan nomad experience. Rich, thick descriptions allow readers to feel, smell, and visualize pastoral lifestyles as well as better understand the multiplicities of Tibetan character. This extraordinary achievement suggests the possibility of reinventing ourselves without forfeiting the dignity and meaning of an ever-fading past.

Gu ru ‘phrin las’ vivid short stories illuminate nomadic A mdo Tibetan life. Growing up in a herding family, the author portrays the local community’s religious beliefs, taboos, family conflicts, marriage, and social norms. This book’s critical descriptions of ordinary moments in herders’ daily life complicate the stereotype and romanization of Tibetan pastoral life.

…memorable tales of a past in a remote corner of the Tibet Plateau, highlighting mundane life’s harsh realities, reflecting social norms, customs, beliefs, and the herding way of life. It is unusual for such a young author to have experienced living in a yak-hair tent – a lifestyle that has nearly vanished. Such unique lived experiences enable Gu ru ‘phrin las to grasp and depict his grandmother’s stories vividly and persuasively. Each story opens a window, revealing a hidden actuality in often sentimentalized nomad life. These nineteen stories allow outsiders to experience harsh realities as they travel through romance and realities.

گورو فرین لاس با بافتی غنی و به زبان انگلیسی موجز و روان، بسیار آشنا است، اما از دنیایی که او توصیف می کند نیز حذف شده است. داستانهای او بیش از خاطرات شخصی دوران کودکی هستند، زیرا آنها خاطرات جمعی تبتیهایی با پیشینه گلهداری هستند که در یک چادر مشکی موی یاک بزرگ شدهاند (از جمله من) اما اکنون به ندرت چنین چادری را در سرزمین خود میبینند. در حالی که داستانها زندگیای را به تصویر میکشند که میتوان آن را بهعنوان نامرغوب و فقیرانه توصیف کرد، مملو از لحظاتی از شفقت صادقانه، اما از بیرحمی پیچیده و احساسات انتقام جویانه که بخشی جداییناپذیر از این زندگی هستند اجتناب نمیکنند. ارزشهای متضاد و احساسات درهمتنیده مانند آینه نمایش داده میشوند که یکی دیگر را منعکس میکند. دختر کوچکی کودکانی را تحسین می کند که کفی های چمن خود را در لو سار «سال نو تبتی» عوض کرده بودند، اما همین کودکان او را تحسین می کنند که به او اجازه داده شد تا زمانی که می خواهد بخوابد. درک و تفسیر پسران از برادرش، «راهب دیوانه» عمیقتر از پدرش است. هشت یاک پرداخت شده برای مرگ پسر یک خانواده فقیر با هشتاد یاک به عنوان غرامت برای مرگ انتقام پسر یک خانواده ثروتمند مقایسه می شود. \ این داستان ها خواننده را به طرق مختلف به چالش می کشند. آیا آنها خاطرات هستند یا تخیلات، آفرینش های تخیلی یا واقعیت های زیسته، بقایای گذشته یا اصالت های فردا؟ \ Rig grol \ دانشگاه ویکتوریا، استرالیا \ \ گورو فرین لاس، یک تبتی محلی، زندگی فراتر از جامعه گله داری خانه خود در فلات تبت را برای خود ایجاد کرد، و زمانی که به او فرصتی برای تحصیل داده شد. در یکی از شهرهای بزرگ چین در این فاصله فیزیکی از زادگاهش است که او داستان هایی را بر اساس خاطرات زندگی اجتماعی و روابطی که یک مسافر زمان نسبت به هزار سال پیش تغییر چندانی پیدا کرده است، بازگو می کند. پدربزرگ ها و مادربزرگ ها، والدین، فرزندان، پسران، دختران، راهبان، آداب و رسوم، الگوهای فکری و اعتقادی آشکار می شوند که منعکس کننده وجودی اجتماعی در تضاد شدید با آنچه بسیاری ممکن است «زندگی ایده آل جامعه» را در نظر بگیرند، منعکس می شوند. \ این داستان ها گواهی است بر دگرگونی های اجتماعی بنیادی در چند دهه اخیر – تغییراتی که امروز با سرعت تصاعدی ادامه می یابد، زیرا کهنه از بین می رود و رمان جایگزین می شود. با در نظر گرفتن این موضوع، درگیر شدن با این روایات، رمزگشایی وحیانی از ارزشهای اصلی و بازجویی آگاهانه از سنت است. گورو فرین لاس صدای مادربزرگش را در نوزده داستان کوتاه بازتاب می دهد و به وضوح زندگی بی آلایش فلات را در یک جامعه گله داری تبتی روایت می کند. در حالی که علفزار گلها
