Tibetan Diaspora and Logo Design in Global Context

This presentation discusses theory behind the difference between localization and globalization in the context of religion. More specifically, it investigates the Tibetan diaspora as a means of demonstrating the segregation of religious sects as forming from a kind of localization; this is achieved by investigating the religious history behind Tibetan Buddhism’s specific practices, then investigating the factors behind the diaspora that have led to Tibetan Buddhism coming to the US and that have led to a unique US audience for Tibetan Buddhist texts.
