The Works of Zhang Rinpoche

Tables of Contents to the Collected Works (Bka'-'bum), Partial Works (Bka' 'Thor-bu), and the Sealed Teachings (Bka'-rgya-ma) of Zhang G.yu-brag-pa Brtson-'grus-grags-pa (1123-1193)

January 2012 version.

Important note!  This is a work in progress, released in its present form for purposes of promoting future research, and with the hope that some young person will undertake the efforts necessary to continue it.

Note on the most recent scholarship:

Four weighty studies of great importance connected to the life and heritage of Zhang Rin-po-che have appeared in approximately the first decade of the 21st century.  These works are listed here first of all for the sake of those to whom English or German language sources are more readily readible than those in Tibetan , and secondly just to emphasize their existence and availability, since little or no reference will be made to them in the remainder of this work.

1. Karl-Heinz Everding, Der Gung thang dkar chag: Die Geschichte des tibetischen Herrschergeschlechtes von Tshal Gung thang und der Tshal pa bKa' brgyud pa-Schule, VGH Wissenschaftsverlag (Bonn 2000).

2. Per K. Sørensen & Guntram Hazod, Rulers on the Celestial Plain: Ecclesiastic and Secular Hegemony in Medieval Tibet, a Study of Tshal Gung-thang, Verlag der Österreichischen Akademie der Wissenschaften (Vienna 2007), in 2 volumes.

3. Carl S. Yamamoto, Vision and Violence: Lama Zhang and the Dialectics of Political Authority and Religious Charisma in Twelfth-Century Central Tibet, doctoral dissertation, Department of Religious Studies, University of Virginia (May 2009).  This contains as its "Appendix 1," on pages 352-417, a detailed listing of content of the nine-volume edition of the Bka'-'bum as published in Kathmandu in 2004, which is why this edition, while it is now the most widely available complete collection, has not been cataloged here.

Introduction

Sooner or later, every serious student of Tibetan religious, literary and political history will come to discover the importance of the works of Zhang G.yu-brag-pa Brtson-'grus-grags-pa (1123-1193).  Some of his works are remarkable for taking the ultimate vantage point of the Mahāmudrā teachings as their main focus.  His healthy or deplorable disdain for ritual and philological proprieties would provoke some controversy, visible in Sa-skya Paṇḍi-ta's more-or-less direct responses found in the Sdom Gsum Rab-dbye.  Literarily speaking, he sometimes experimented with some unorthodox forms of verse,[1] while his autobiographical writings seem to be important early exemplars for the genre, even if it would be necessary to wait another five hundred years to find autobiographies that reach his level of confessional candor and self-criticism.[2]  In terms of political history, Zhang Rin-po-che was also controversial for his political rule in Central Tibet with the attendant use of force during the last half of his life.  His writings are crucial for understanding the emergence and development of specific political institutions –– the patron-priest relationship, the position of the dpon-chen, recognized reincarnation –– and other aspects of sectarian-based polity, which we might otherwise simply assume to have originated under Mongol domination.  I am currently of the opinion that Zhang and his times hold the key for understanding why it was that polity in Tibet, all the way up until the 1950's, turned out to be predominantly sectarian-based, rather than royalist.  In brief, no matter what direction our researches might lead us (assuming that we do not focus narrowly on earlier periods), something is bound to crop up in the corpus of Zhang Rin-po-che's writings that will be of relevance.

There are two major hurdles that have prevented the works of Zhang Rin-po-che, available to the world at large since 1972, from being consulted.  Firstly, the reprint edition of the Partial Works, which is the only substantial part of his Collected Works (his Bka'-'bum) that had been published until quite recently, while legibly printed, is based on a manuscript riddled with orthographical peculiarities (for example, 'byal for mjal, 'to meet', and so forth) that make reading difficult, although experienced readers of Tibetan manuscripts may, with a little effort, find their way through them, since a certain degree of consistency is discernible in these eccentric spellings.  The second hurdle, and the one which we propose to overcome here, is the absence of any 'table of contents' to the volume of the Partial Works (Bka' 'Thor-bu).[3]  The 717 'sides' or 'columns' of the Partial Works contain only three title pages, while over a hundred and thirty 'titles' (many in fact untitled) are buried in the lines of the manuscript.  Many of these titles are supplied in such a way that it is difficult or impossible to determine whether a given title belongs to the text preceding or the text following it without a careful reading of the texts themselves (and in a few cases, the titles are simply misplaced). 

Users of the table of contents that follows will soon learn to appreciate, if they have not already, the value of data furnished in the Record of Received Teachings (Gsan-yig) of the Fifth Dalai Lama (DL).  This treasure trove of bibliographical information has not beenconsulted by scholars as often as it should be.  For His listing of the works of Zhang Rin-po-che, the Dalai Lama [DL 179] takes as His main source of reference a text entitled Bka'-'bum-gyi Dkar-chag Nor-bu'i 'Phreng-ba by Si-tu Dge-ba'i-blo-gros.[4]  Dge-ba'i-blo-gros is a monastic name for Tshal-pa Kun-dga'-rdo-rje (1309-1364), the celebrated author of the Red Annals.  It is also known that Kun-dga'-rdo-rje composed a biography of Zhang Rin-po-che, which is unfortunately no longer extant,[5] and a guide to the monastery founded by Zhang Rin-po-che at Tshal Gung-thang, also not available.[6]  Thanks to the Dalai Lama, however, we do possess an extensive list of the contents of his dkar-chag of Zhang Rin–po-che's writings.  Since Padma-dkar-po [PK] and Gter-bdag-gling-pa [TL] list only the contents of Zhang Rin-po-che's Bka'-rgya-ma, or 'Sealed Teachings',[7] in a relatively succinct manner, they were not of so much use for us.  The list of titles from the Fifth Dalai Lama's Record of Teachings Received will be given in Part Two, below, while his list of the Sealed Teachings appears in Part Four.  The spellings of titles supplied by the Dalai Lama are almost always to be preferred, while his occasional comments about individual texts, as well as the classifications of texts he supplies (on the basis of the just-mentioned dkar-chag by Tshal-pa Kun-dga'-rdo-rje), will prove invaluable for forming informed opinions about their provenance, authorship,[8] and so forth.  The Dalai Lama's list of contents of the Collected Works will be supplied in full in Part Two, below.

It will be noticed that the Dalai Lama's Gsan-yig often lists titles that are  formed from the first few syllables from the body of the text with an added suffix -ma.[9]  The Gsan-yig also frequently supplies the concluding words of the work (usually in a statement ending in the word mtha'-can), which is an additional help to us in ascertaining the work's identity.

It should be noted that our published volume of Zhang Rin-po-che's works is very rightly called a Bka' 'Thor-bu (Partial Works) even though the title page of the manuscript [p. 1] says it is a Bka'-'bum (Collected Works).  It in fact contains a great deal of the Bka'-'bum of Zhang Rin-po-che which, according to the added English preface (with reference to Materials for a History of Tibetan Literature, no. 13405), once filled four volumes.[10]  Thanks to the listing of the Dalai Lama, we may now say that our one-volume Bka' 'Thor-bu contains only about 132 titles among the approximately 344 which were once available to the Dalai Lama V.  It was only late in the year 1993 that the Nepal-German Manuscript Preservation Project (NGMPP) team was able to photocopy a complete (except for a very few missing pages) six-volume set at the Samdo Monastery in northern Nepal (see our catalog of the Samdo A version in Part Five).  At the same time, they were able to copy two partial sets of the collected works (Samdo B and Samdo C), and these are cataloged in Part Six and Part Seven.  In Tibet in the summer of 1996, I was able to obtain a photocopied version of a four-volume Bka'-'bum, which has been cataloged in Part Eight.  During the same visit to Tibet, I was able to photocopy in the Tibet Library in Lhasa dkar-chags of the Bka'-'bum, transcribed in Part Nine, and the Bka'-rgya-ma, transcribed in Part Ten.  Then, later in 1996, E. Gene Smith provided me with parts of a Bka'-'bum manuscript from Dolpo in photocopied form (the original had long since been inserted into a mchod-rten), and this quite incomplete manuscript is cataloged in Part 11.

Lastly, before beginning with a catalog of contents of the published Partial Works in Part One, followed by the Fifth Dalai Lama's listing of the contents of the Collected Works in Part Two, we would first like to present a chronological chart of some of Zhang Rin-po-che's works.  It is hoped that this will form the basis for a more complete chronological listing founded upon a close critical scrutiny of the texts themselves.  It is sometimes quite important to know the dates of the autobiographies and biographies, or to know whether a particular work was written before or after the beginnings of his political involvements. 

It might be possible to make judgements about the dates of some of the works on the basis of the names Zhang Rin-po-che used to sign them.  A few of his works are signed Bde-ba'i-rdo-rje.[11]  One of them (III.30) seems to have been composed in the early 1160's.  Therefore, the other two works which bear this name may also date from about the same time (I.1, an autobiographical verse work, mentions nothing later than the mid-1160's; III.109 contains nothing datable).  Throughout his life, Zhang Rin-po-che seems to have signed works with the name Sprang-ban Zhang (about 50 works so signed), or more rarely with an alternative form, Zhang-gi Sprang-ban.  This self-effacing self-designation might be translated 'Beggar-monk Zhang'.  However, later in his life he seems to have often preferred a fuller form of his name, usually including his clan name, Sna-nam, and/or his monastic name, Brtson-'grus-grags-pa (a name he received in 1148).  Thus, III.124 and III.27, both signed Shākya'i Dge-slong Brtson-'grus-grags-pa, were written in 1175; III.10 and III.123, signed Sna-nam Brtson-'grus-grags-pa, were written after 1175.  This suggests that other works signed with these or similar names (i.e., the biographical works III.6 and III.19-23) were probably composed in 1175 or later.  I do not believe that Zhang Rin-po-che ever, on his own account, referred to himself as Zhang Rin-po-che, and assume that in those few cases where the form does appear (II.4 & 7) it indicates the hand of an editor.  Nevertheless, Zhang Rin-po-che was the name he was well known by, if not during his lifetime, at least soon after his death.  (See Rgyal-blon-ma biography, p. 213.5).  Therefore, I have preferred to refer to him under this form, although some works call him Bla-ma Zhang.  As with the designation Zhang Rin-po-che, so also Zhang G.yu-brag-pa never occurs as a term of self-reference.  It seems that Zhang Rin-po-che founded G.yu-brag and stayed there several times during the period very roughly corresponding to 1165 (or 1167?) through 1172 A.D.  During this period, he first became famous, and so the name stayed with him in later life and in posterity, even though his founding of the monasteries at Tshal had much greater historical importance.

The Table of Contents to the Published Volume of the Partial Works (Bka' 'Thor-bu).

Source:  Zhang G.yu-brag-pa Brtson-'grus-grags-pa, Writings (Bka' 'Thor-bu) of Zhang G.yu-brag-pa Brtson-'grus-grags-pa, "reproduced from a manuscript from the library of Burmiok Athing by Khams-sprul Don-brgyud-nyi-ma," Sungrab Nyamso Gyunpel Parkhang (Tashijong 1972).

I would suggest that this volume ought to be identified rather as the first volume of the 4-volume set listed in the Record of Teachings Received by the First Zhabs-drung Gsung-sprul in the early 18th century (see Part 15, below), since the texts and their order correspond exactly.  No other list or publication shares these same texts (2 or 3 of them being unique) or order.  It would seem safe to conclude that the ms. in the Burmiok Athing collection (in Sikkim) may have descended from the version received in Bhutan by the First Zhabs-drung Gsung-sprul (or less likely, it may be the very same text).  In any case, it is not properly a Gsung 'Thor-bu, but would better be described as vol. 1 of the complete Bka'-'bum.

Note:   Brief biographical verses of praise to Zhang Rin-po-che.  The name of the author, 'Dod-chags-rdo-rje, is just a name of the subject (Bde-ba'i-rdo-rje being still another name; see Section 3: nos. 30 and 109, below).  Hence, this is actually an autobiographical "self-praise" (rang bstod).  For a different text with a similar title, see DL [196] and PK [455].  This work was the subject of a commentary by Si-tu Dge-ba'i-blo-gros, which has only become available at the end of the new Bka'-rgya-ma volume.

See Brag-dgon Dkon-mchog-bstan-pa-rab-rgyas (1800/1-  ), Deb-ther Rgya-mtsho (=A-mdo Chos-'byung, =Yul Mdo-smad-kyi Ljongs-su Thub Bstan Rin-po-che Ji-ltar Dar-ba'i Tshul Gsal-bar Brjod-pa Deb-ther Rgya-mtsho), A-lag 'Jam-dbyangs (Delhi 1974), pt. 1, p. 28.4:  G.yu-brag-pa Zhang Brtson-'grus-grags-pa'i rang rnam Dge-slong Shes-rab-grub-pa'i ngor gnang-ba. 

Note:  This autobiography, called Shes-rab-grub-ma, Sher-grub-ma (after the name of the disciple who requested it), or Ma Nor Bde-legs-ma (after the first four syllables of the work), has much information about the early life of Zhang Rin-po-che, as well as his later visionary career.  Details on his political activities are unfortunately lacking, although there are some interesting insights into his personality offered here.  This is one of the the most substantive sourceworks for the life of Zhang Rin-po-che [but see the Rgyal-blon-ma: section II, no. 19 below].  We may be fairly certain of a date of 1166, since the Sha-mi biography (Section I: no. 4, below) says it was composed in a Dog year, and one of the songs composed at Brag-sngon (see Section III: no. 81, below) was completed at the request of Dge-slong Shes-rab-grub-pa shortly before Zhang went to Sgrags where the present work was composed.  Finally, this work does not report on any events after that date.

3)  Ma-jo Dar-ma la gsungs-pa / Byang-chub-sems Sgom-pa Don Drug-pa zhes bya-ba [58.4].

Note: Not to be found in the Gsan-yig lists.  It may, in fact, be a Rnying-ma-pa text that somehow ended up here.  There is no indication that it is a work of Zhang Rin-po-che, and in fact its presence here interrupts the autobiographical continuity of the preceding and following texts.  However, according to the Rgyal-blon-ma [p. 218.4], the beginning words of this text are the beginning of Zhang Rin-po-che's first recitation, given at the age of 4. in the presence of Ma-jo Dar-ma.  This would explain why the text appears here.

Note:  This autobiographical 'discourse' (gleng-slong) may be understood as a continuation (the 'final third') of the Sher-grub-ma autobiography.  It is almost exclusively devoted to the author's spiritual development and experiences.  According to the colophon, the Sher-grub-ma autobiography was written in a Dog (gyi, =khyi) year (most probably 1166), while the present work was written near the end of his life (according to the evidence of the Rgyal-blon-ma, p. 298.1.)

5)  Rnam-thar Mo-gdong-ma [74.4].

DL [194.2] brda don 'chang-ba Stag-gi ri la sku gsheng-ba'i nyin-par zhal-nas dpang-pa.  This text belongs to his section of the Bka'-rgya-ma entitled: gnyis-pa Mon-gdong-ma.

Note:  This visionary autobiography includes an accurate prediction of the circumstances of his death, on p. 77.  The events took place in a Dragon year (1172, 1184??).  This particular text combines two texts found in the Bka'-rgya-ma (Part 3, nos. 46 and 47).

6)  Zab Lam Chung-shos [82.6]:

DL [198.2]: Lam Zab Bla-ma Chos Thun Nyer-gcig-pa / ['di Mchal-sgang Chos-spyil-ma'i khrod na'ang yod /].  Found in the section entitled Gnyis-pa 'Bring-po Gtsang-ston Rnal-'byor-gyi lugs.  [The same title appears in DL 194.6].

Note:  This text belongs to the Mtshal Sgang Chos-spyil-ma section of the Bka'-rgya-ma, although the events seem to have taken place at Phyi-khungs (p. 83.5; i.e., Spyi-khungs).  This text is substantially the same (not identical) to the text in Part 3: 71, below.

7)  Rnam-thar Bsam-yas-ma [89.1].

Note:  This work, which belongs to the Bka'-rgya-ma, is set in the year 1177, at Bsam-yas Monastery.  One Ro-sgom-pa Lo-sgom Nyi-ma-shes-rab is listed among Zhang Rin-po-che's disciples.

Note:  Still another story of how he left footprints (zhabs-rjes) in a rock.  This belongs to the Bka'-rgya-ma, although it apparently was not included in the reprinted edition (Part 3, below), neither is it listed by DL (Part 4: A) IV, below).

10)  Rnam-thar Lha-sa-ma [103.3].

DL [197.3]: sbas-pa mig 'byed ngas khyed-rnams mi-bslu-ba yin-no'i mtha'-can / --  The work called Sbas-pa Mig 'Byed ("Opening Eyes [to the] Hidden"; but note that our text reads chos-kyi mig 'byed), ending with the words ngas khyed-rnams mi bslu-ba yin-no (I will not mislead you).  Included in his eighth section of the Bka'-rgya-ma, entitled "brgyad-pa Lha-sa-ma."  See Part 4: A) VIII.1.

Note:  The events related here took place in a Wood Bird year, or 1165 [p. 104.1].  Visionary experiences that occurred while worshipping the Jo-bo image at Lhasa.  The images there smile, speak, emit lights, and so forth.  This text could not be located in the reprint edition of the Bka'-rgya-ma, to which it nevertheless should belong.

Section II:  KHA-PA(?).

1)  Spyan-'dren Chen-mo Bzhugs-s.ho [121].

DL [180.4]: Spyan-'dren Chen-po Phyag-rgya-chen-po-ma.  Included in his section entitled: gsum-pa Bslab-bya Lag-len-gyi Skor.  See Part Two: III.2.

Note:  Verses of invitation to bla-mas and deities, with ritual instructions.

2)  Lha-lung-ma [137.2].

B:  Zhang Rin-po-che la skyabs-su mchi'o // Lha-lung-gi Dgon-pa-ru bdag phyin tsa na // dang-po yang dgon cer-gyis mthong // [137.3].

Note:  This work does not seem to be listed anywhere.  Lha-lung is the place where Zhang Rin-po-che met Sgom-tshul, and this meeting is the subject of this short text.  The story of his meeting with Sgom-tshul is also told in the Rgyal-blon-ma (Part 1: II.19, at page 271.1).

3)  Shog-dril Chen-mo bzhugs [139.1].

E:  ldom-bu-ba'i zan thas [thes?] la che chung ru bre phul re yan chad mkho' bar yod do //  ithi //  [162.5].

DL [187.6]: Shog-dril dang-po Zhang-gi Chig-chog-ma.  Contained in his seventh section, entitled: bdun-pa Gsung Sgus [Sgros?] Thor-bu'i Skor.  This is the first in a series of five 'scrolls' (shog-dril).  See Part 2: VII.1.  Others follow.

Note:  These are records of the words of Zhang.  The first scroll seems to be a deathbed testiment recorded by his disciples.  The first scroll contains his instructions on the disposition of his estates.  The second contains directives about a retreat he undertook late in his life.

4)  Gnyis-ma [162.5].

DL [188.1]:  According to this source, the present title should end with the words "gzims-chung-gi sgo'i ya them la bzhags-so."  See Part 2: VII.5.

8)  Bla-ma'i Lam-khyer Bdun las Dang-po'o [182.3].

DL:  See above.  This should be identical to Part 2: III.21 (?).

Note:  This text tells how sha-rī-ram may increase from relics of the bla-ma kept as an amulet around the neck or on the top of the head.  Quotes from a Rdo-rje Thugs Mchog 'Bar-ba'i Rgyud.

13)  T: 'Drug-pa [Drug-pa] [202.1].

DL [191.4]:  Lists the following three texts belonging to the 'Ben-nag Brag-ma (note the difference in spelling!):

dang-po Zhang-gi Sprang-ban.  See Part 2: VIII.104 (?).

gnyis-pa Kwa-ye Mi Sdod.

gsum-pa 'Ja'-tshon Nam-mkha'-ma (no. 17).

Of these three texts, the present work is evidently the second, while the first one follows.  The third is no. 17, below.

16)  None [206.3].

B:  <P> Zhang-gi Sprang-ban myon-pa 'di // rtogs-pa'i thogs-nas sna-tshogs smra // smras smras 'dra-bar smras-pa med // [206.3-4].

C:  snying-nas rang-du ri-khrod 'grim // sdem-por [ldem-por] smras-pa yin-ri-shi // ri-khrod nyams-myong-ma Sprang-bon Zhang-gis [small letters:] Bya-mkhar Bhe-nag-ma la'o // [209.2-3].

DL:  See above.  See Part 2: VIII.106.

18)  Lam-'bras Dril-ba'i Nyams-len-ma [211.1].

B:  <P> bdag-gis rjes-su 'jug-pa-rnams // bdag-gi blo la shor-ba-rnams // [211.2].

C:  lam-gyi dus dang 'dras-bu ['bras-bu] gnyis-kar bde // gzhan-gyis mi 'thob bla-ma mnyes-par gyis // [small letters:] Lam-'bras Dril-ba Brtson-'grus-grags-pa'i nyams-so // [212.6-213.1].

DL [186.4]: Lam-'bras Dril-ba'i Nyams-len.  Included in his sixth section, entitled: "drug-pa Nges-don De-kho-na Gtso-bor Ston-pa'i Skor."  See Part 2: VI.17.

Note:  The text proper is prefaced [221.1-221.5] by a brief statement that is significant for telling us that Zhang Rin-po-che personally wrote things down (yi-ge bkod).

19)  Rnam-thar Rgyal-blon-ma [213.1].

B:  <N> zab-cing rgya chen dgos-'dod 'byung-pa'i gnas // rang gzhan don rdzogs khyod la gus btud de // [213.1-2].

E:  bde chen zag med longs-spyod bsam mi khyab // khyed-kyi yon-tan blo'i yul min-te / zla'ba 'dzub-kyi mtshon-pa ji-bzhin-du / rgya-mtsho'i nang na chu thig 'ga'-tsam bkod // de las byung-pa'i bsod-nams gang thob des / 'gro kun yid-kyi mun-pa dag gyur-nas / skyes chen khyed-kyi ji-bzhin bdud-rtsi'i ro // stabs-su longs-spyod 'gro don thar [mthar] phyin shog / [301.1-4].

Note:  This is a full-length biographical work with many parallels to the Sher-grub-ma (and this assists in some of the many difficult readings found in both!), but with more comprehensive coverage of Zhang Rin-po-che's life.  It does not seem to be listed among Zhang Rin-po-che's works, but rather must be a composition by one of his spiritual descendents.  Many episodes are 'autobiographical', however.  I can supply no definite explanation for the title, although it might be suggested that the author should be his disciple Tshal-dpon Sangs-rgyas-dngos-grub, whose ancestors in the Mgar clan served as royal ministers (rgyal blon).  More likely, this biography represents a collection made some years after Zhang Rin-po-che's death by Rgya Lo, whose name is found in the colophon to the text contained in Bka'-rgya-ma, vol. I, pp. 311-316.  See also Bka'-rgya-ma, vol. I, p. 182.3, where the Rgyal-blon-ma biography is referred to as Ston-pa Rgyal-lo-ma.

20)  T: Spyis-khung-gi [Spyi-khungs-kyi] Byin 'Beb Chen-mo [301.4].

B:  bla-ma yid-dam ye-shes-kyi mkha'-'gro-ma gsum la / gus-pas phyag 'tshal dang-bas skyabs-su mchi'o // bden-pa des kyang skyes 'gro ma-lus-pa'i sems la gnyis-med ye-shes 'char-du gsol // [301.4-5].

E:  yong bden-pa des skyes 'gro ma-lus-pa'i // sems la gnyis-med ye-shes 'char-du gsol //

TL [592]:  Perhaps to be identified with the "Byin-rlabs Dbab-pa" belonging to the Bka'-rgya-ma, section four entitled "Spyi-khung-ma."

DL [195.6]:  Evidently not to be identified with the "Spyi-khongs-ma'i Byin Dbab Rje-btsun-ma'i Gsang Sgrub" listed in his section four (i.e., Part 4: A -- IV) called "Spyi-khungs-ma.".

21)  Zhal-chems Brag-nag-ma  [302.5].

B:  Zhang-gi zhal-nas 'di skad gsung / kye-ma nga la 'chi-ba yod min-ste // nga ni chos-sku'i rnal-'byor-pa // [302.6].

DL [191.5] sku-gshegs rjes Dge-bshes Brag-nag-pa la gsungs-pa'i 'chi-med Chos-sku.  See Part 2: VIII.109.

Note:  These are words spoken after his death (post mortem, rather than posthumous), proclaiming his identity with the Three Bodies (Trikāya).

22)  Gsum Cig-tu Dril-ba'i Man-ngag 'o [304.1].

B:  dur-khrod chen-por dngos-grub mnyes // Dpal-ldan Rga Lo'i zhal na-re // shes-bya shes-pa'i chos-rnams kun // [304.1-2].

E:  Gsum Cig-tu Dril-ba'i Man-ngag rdzogs-s.ho // dge'-'o / bkra-shis / zhus-dag [305.3].

DL [186.5]:  Sgrub Brgyad Lam Mchog 'Phreng-ba Gsum Gcig-tu Dril-ba'i Gdams-ngag.  Included in the sixth section entitled, "Nges-don De-kho-na Gtso-bor Ston-pa'i Skor."  See Part 2: VI.25.

Note:  This work contains brief verse precepts of Rga Lo, Yer-pa-ba, and Zhang Rin-po-che, among others.

Section III)  GA [KGA] Bla-ma Zhang Rin-po-che'i Bka'-bum las / Dkar-rgyud Rnam-thar bzhugs [307].

DL [189.2]:  The title Gsang-sngags Lag-len found in DL seems to refer not to this particular text (which is devoted to guidance in tantric ritual and visualization, making the title an apt one), but rather to the soon-to-follow collection of 20 (or 21) songs.  The present text corresponds instead to Part 2: III.13: gsang-sngags la zhugs-shing sgrub-pa byed-par 'dod-pa-dag-gis Lam-du Blang-ba'i Rim-pa.

Note:  This brings the collection of songs from Cha'o-lung to an end.  Since Zhang Rin-po-che's residence at Cha'o-lung took place after his founding of Mtshal in 1175 [294.3], these songs must be dated later than 1175.

Note:  This work was requested by Gtsang-pa Jo-btsun mched ('two brothers from Gtsang'), who also requested Section I, no. 4, above.  This suggests a rather late date for this work.  Has some reference to battles.

Note:  According to DL, Mal Dbu-dkar-ba should be the recipient of this work also.  Beware!  The title given above, Phyag-khrig-mchog-ma, in actual fact belongs to the following text, no. 102.

102)  None [661.1].

Note:  The entry in DL says in smaller letters: "Even though, not being in the dkar-chag, this is not the words [of Zhang], there is [yet] the tradition of giving textual authorizations (lung)."  A Lho-brag-pa Phyag (=Chag) Khri-mchog is said to have been a disciple of Atiśa (see "Biographies of Eminent Gurus in the Transmission Lineages of the Teachings of the Graduated Path," being the text of: Byang-chub Lam-gyi Rim-pa'i Bla-ma Brgyud-pa'i Rnam-par Thar-pa Rgyal-mtshan Mdzes-pa'i Rgyan Mchog Phul-byung Nor-bu'i Phreng-ba, composed in 1787 by Tshe-mchog-gling Yongs-'dzin Ye-shes-rgyal-mtshan, and reproduced by Ngawang Gelek Demo [N. Delhi 1970], p. 367).  This person is evidently not the same as the author of this 'highly abusive' (shin-tu brnyas-bcos) work aimed at Zhang Rin-po-che, since there is an irresolvable chronological problem in finding them identical.  A Phyag Khri-mchog is listed among Zhang Rin-po-che's disciples (Tshal-pa Kun-dga'-rdo-rje, Deb-ther Dmar-po, Mi-rigs Dpe-skrun-khang [Peking 1981], p. 129).

Note:  As it appears in DL, this text should immediately follow our text no. 102.  The note in smaller letters in DL says "Neither of these is clarified in the dkar-chag." (Referring to both our 102 and our 105.)  One Dar-bsod is listed among Zhang Rin-po-che's disciples.

Note:  This says that the manuscript was proofed once, but that it needed to be done once more.  To judge from the many scribal errors, we can only agree.  It is possible that the bstan-pa dar-rgyas that occurs twice here could be the name of the scribe.

I, pp. 179.3-192.1-- The listings of texts from the Bka'-rgya-ma and various lineages connected with Zhang Rin-po-che's works and spiritual teachings continue until page 200).  The page numbers of the Fifth Dalai Lama's work are noted in bold face in the text, while the section and number of corresponding works published in the Partial Works (Part One) are supplied in square brackets.  Those texts which were unavailable in modern reprint publications prior to 1990 are marked with a solid dot (*).  Without any general consistency, the Dalai Lama usually gives either 'true titles' or titles based on the first words of the text, but sometimes there is no 'title' at all, only an indication of the content.  He seldom tells the number of chapters, but often supplies us with the concluding words.  Following the Table of Contents by Si-tu Dge-ba'i-blo-gros (i.e., Tshal-pa Kun-dga'-rdo-rje), the Dalai Lama divides the works of Zhang Rin-po-che into eight 'sections' (skor), as follows:

I) Prayers and Praises (Gsol-'d[e]bs Bstod-pa'i Skor).

II) Biographical Works (Mdzad-pa Rnam-thar-gyi Skor).

III) Advice and Directions (Bslab-bya Lag-len-gyi Skor).

IV) Doctrines of the Great and Small Vehicles (Theg-pa Che Chung-gi Grub-mtha'i Skor).

V) Practical Meditation Guidance (Nyams-len Sgom 'Khrid-kyi Skor).

VI) Works Mainly Teaching the Uncompromisingly Presented Significance Alone (Nges-don Kho-na Gtso-bor Ston-pa'i Skor).

VII) Miscellaneous Communications (Gsung-sgros Thor-bu'i Skor).

VIII) Vajra Songs [Sung] by Force of Meditative Experiences (Nyams-myong Shugs-kyi Rdo-rje'i Klu'i [=Glu'i] Skor).

[1]See, for example, the 'crippled verse' Part One, Section III, no. 54, below.

[2]Sometimes the self-criticism is too strong to be taken entirely seriously, as in the Re-po-skyid-ma (Part One, Section III, no. 104).  It is also true that Zhang Rin-po-che could at times be quite self-congratulatory, as in Part One, Section I, no. 1).

[3]It was Dr. David Jackson who, in a letter, urged upon me the importance for future research of a table of contents to the works of Zhang Rin-po-che.

[4]We may know from the guide to Gung-thang Monastery by 'Jog-ri-ba (fol. 37r.6) that Dge-ba'i-blo-gros was responsible for gathering together the scattered writings into the two collections, the Bka'-'bum and the Bka'-rgya-ma, and it was he who promoted the manuscript transmission as well as the reading authorization transmission of these collections.

[5]DL [199] gives a lineage for the 'reading authorization' (lung) of this biography.  (See also the note of Dung-dkar Rin-po-che in Tshal-pa Kun-dga'-rdo-rje, Deb-ther Dmar-po [Peking 1981], p. 446, note 583.)  Like the lineages for the reading authorizations for Zhang Rin-po-che's works, the Dalai Lama received this lineage from his teacher Zur Chos-dbyings-rang-grol (1604-1664) who occupied the abbacy of Tshal Gung-thang, the important monastery founded by Zhang Rin-po-che (this according to Kaḥ-thog Si-tu Chos-kyi-rgya-mtsho, Gangs-ljongs Dbus Gtsang Gnas-bskor Lam-yig Nor-bu Zla-shel-gyi Se-mo-do, Sungrab Nyamso Gyunphel Parkhang [Tashijong 1972], p. 140).  It is interesting that the the Dalai Lama's connections to the Tshal-pa lineages were due to this Rnying-ma-pa teacher.  Since writing these words, a biography of Zhang Rin-po-che by Si-tu has been published; see Part 14, below.

[6] The dkar-chag of Tshal Gung-thang that is available is the one by 'Jog-ri Ngag-dbang-bstan-'dzin-'phrin-las.  This has been published in transliteration and German translation in Karl-Heinz Everding, Der Gung thang dkar chag: Die Geschichte des tibetischen Herrschergeschlechtes von Tshal Gung thang und der Tshal pa bKa' brgyud pa-Schule, VGH Wissenschaftsverlag (Bonn 2000).

[7]The Bka'-rgya-ma, as this collection will henceforth be referred to, is available in a two-volume reprint form:  The Highly Esoteric Experiential Writings (Bka' rgya ma) of Bla-ma Žaṅ G'yu-brag-pa Brtson-'grus-g'yuṅ-druṅ, "reproduced from incomplete manuscript collections preserved at the Monastery of O-rgyan-chos-gliṅ in Bhutan," Drug Sherig Press (Thimphu 1981).  The works contained therein are highly visionary in content, although there are some interesting biographical data that may be gleaned from them.  The Bka'-rgya-ma is an entirely independent body of works, and is not to be confused with the Collected Works (Bka'-'bum).  A few works from the Bka'-rgya-ma are, however, included in our Partial Works (see Part One, Section I, nos. 5-10, as well as Section II, no. 20, below).  It is, by the way, quite likely that Zhang Rin-po-che's Bka'-rgya-ma set the precedent for later Dge-lugs-pa collections called by the same name, in particular the 'sealed' volumes of the works of the Fifth Dalai Lama, as well as his 'sealed' biography.

[8]Not all the works included in the Partial Works were authored by Zhang Rin-po-che, most notably I.3, II.19, and III.102 in Part One, below.

[9]For a specific study on this method of title-making, used especially for well-known prayers and for texts that otherwise would have no title, see Manfred Taube, Das Suffix -ma in tibetischen Buchtiteln, Mitteilungen des Instituts für Orientforschung 16 (1970) 107-117.  Usually these titles are formed from the first words (sometimes in abbreviated form) that occur following the initial invocation[s].

[10]Or five volumes, according to the note by Dung-dkar Rin-po-che in Tshal-pa Kun-dga'-rdo-rje, Deb-ther Dmar-po, p. 445, note 583.

[11]The form Zhang Rin-po-che Bde-ba'i-rdo-rje occurs in a lineage for the Bka'-rgya-ma found in DL [199].  I believe that he received the 'secret name' (gsang mtshan) Bde-ba'i-rdo-rje from his teacher Gshen (see the lineage found in Part One, Section III, no. 9, pp. 440-2).  Bde-ba'i-rdo-rje is also among a group of six or eight secret names of Zhang Rin-po-che connected with the eight parts of the Bka'-rgya-ma.
