Résumé
Phu mkhar rdzong, a pilgrimage site in Ladakh This paper describes the pilgrimage of Phu mkhar rdzong, a sacred place "opened" by Padmasambhava and still venerated by Buddhists, but situated in Purig (Western Ladakh), a region inhabited mostly by Ladakhi Muslims. The description of the place given in "the new explanation of the holy site" (gnas bshadgso ma), written in 1993 by rTogs Jdan Rin po che, the head of the 'Bri gung pa school in Ladakh who had a long career in Ladakhi politics, is compared with the discourse and behaviour of lay pilgrims. On the basis of this study, the author questions the revitalisation of the pilgrimage and, more generally, the awakening of "national" consciousness among Ladakhi Buddhists along religious / communal lines.
