(en) Le lieutenant-colonel Laurence Austine Waddell (né le 29 mai 1854 à Cumbernauld, Dumbartonshire en Écosse-1938) est un explorateur écossais britannique, professeur de tibétain, professeur de chimie et de pathologie, chirurgien de l'armée britannique, collectionneur au Tibet, archéologue amateur, docteur en droit, et auteur. Waddell était aussi un philologue et un linguiste, après avoir étudié le sumérien et le sanskrit, il a fait plusieurs traductions de sceaux et d'autres inscriptions. Sa réputation de sumérologue n'a gagné aucune reconnaissance et ses travaux sur l'histoire de la civilisation ont suscité la controverse. Il a accompagné l'expédition militaire britannique au Tibet de 1903 à 1904. Il eut une conversation avec Lobsang Gyaltsen au cours de laquelle le ganden tripa, alors régent du Tibet, sachant qu'il écrit un ouvrage sur le bouddhisme lui demande s'il est bouddhiste. Waddell lui répond qu'il ne l'est pas, mais qu'il est de religion chrétienne, où il voit des similitudes. Le régent du Tibet pense que les Britanniques n'ont pas de religion, étant donné le nombre de Tibétains qu'ils ont tué. Waddell met cette conclusion en relation avec l'expédition militaire britannique. Selon le militant indépendantiste tibétain Jamyang Norbu, Laurence Waddell a cherché à justifier cette entreprise impérialiste violente en diabolisant la société et les institutions du Tibet. (fr) Laurence Austine Waddell (1854 - 1938) was een Brits luitenant-kolonel in het leger van Brits-Indië, ontdekkingsreiziger en verzamelaar in Tibet en schrijver. Waddell maakte veel reizen door India in de jaren 1890, inclusief aangrenzende gebieden zoals Sikkim, Nepal en Tibet en hij schreef over de Tibetaans boeddhistische praktijken die hij onderweg observeerde. Tijdens verblijf met het Britse leger in Darjeeling leerde Waddell Tibetaans en hij trok het land verschillende malen in het geheim en vermomd binnen. Waddell ging mee als cultureel adviseur tijdens de Britse Veldtocht in Tibet van 1903-4 onder leiding van Francis Younghusband en naast Charles Alfred Bell werd hij gezien als een van de belangrijkste autoriteiten van zijn tijd op het gebied van het Tibetaans boeddhisme. In zijn latere werken deed Waddell vergelijkend onderzoek tussen de culturen en van het Westen en het Nabije Oosten. (nl) Лоуренс Уодделл (1854—1938) — британский исследователь. Изучал Тибет, был профессором химии и патологии, хирургом Индийской Армии, а также археологом-любителем. В поздние годы публиковал исторические сочинения, которые не были признаны в научном мире. Иногда его считают реальным предтечей вымышленного персонажа Индианы Джонса. Искал место рождения Будды, но в последний момент для финального поиска вместо него был направлен А.А. Фюрер, который и обнаружил его в Лумбини. Принимал участие в экспедициях в Бирме, Индии и сопредельных странах. Учил шумерский и санскрит. (ru)
