Abstract:
(Show)
The author looks at one particular "record of teachings received" (gsan yig) from the Sakyapa (sa skya pa) author and historian A mes zhabs Ngag dbang kun dga' bsod nams (1597-1659). The class of texts known as gsan yig or thob yig ("record of teachings obtained") typically contain detailed records of the textual transmissions and corresponding teacher lineages an individual has received and so provides an invaluable source for Tibetan historical, bibliographical, and textual studies. Jan-Ulrich Sobisch looks at one particular gsan yig to illuminate some of the yet unrevealed history of Sakya lineage, including the Lamdré (lam 'bras) tradition. (Zach Rowinski 2005-06-07)
