人们对西藏难民社区的心理健康状况进行了广泛的研究，但就像大多数关于政治暴力的研究一样，这些研究几乎只关注精神创伤。研究表明，这个流亡社区似乎具有非同寻常的弹性；但这种蓬勃发展的能力从何而来？在对印度达兰萨拉进行了14个多月的人种学研究的基础上，本文展示了藏族人如何将韧性视为一种学习和积极的过程，使头脑更“宽敞”和“灵活”。这项研究通过对80名藏族难民的深入访谈和深入的参与者观察，探索了为什么与创伤暴露相关的负面情绪被认为是有毒的，以及有多少暴露在政治暴力中的藏人从事一种名为“心智训练”的佛教修行，以减轻其有害影响。这项研究着眼于从文化上认可对政治暴力和流离失所的反应，挑战了创伤是一种普遍经验的观念。
Mental health in the Tibetan refugee community has been studied extensively, but like most research on political violence, these studies focus almost exclusively on trauma. Studies suggest this exile community seems to be unusually resilient; but from where does this capacity to thrive stem? On the basis of ethnographic research in Dharamsala, India, conducted over 14 months, this article demonstrates how Tibetans conceive of resilience as a learned and active process of making the mind more “spacious” and “flexible.” Drawing on extended participant observation and in-depth interviews with 80 Tibetan refugees, this work explores why negative emotions associated with trauma exposure are considered toxic and how many Tibetans exposed to political violence engage in a Buddhist practice known as “mind training” (lojong in Tibetan) to abate its harmful effects. Attending to culturally sanctioned responses to political violence and displacement, this study challenges the notion that trauma is a universal experience.
