Zhang Works 9-15

Part Nine: 

The Tables of Contents (dkar-chag) of the Four-volume Bka'-'bum from Tibet Library, Lhasa.

Following is a simplified transcription of the cursive manuscripts of the table of contents (dkar-chag) of the Bka'-'bum of Zhang Rinpoche, which shares the same number (13446) with the work transcribed in Part 10, in the Tibet Library (Bod-ljong Dpe-mdzod-khang) in Lhasa. 

The title is 'Gro-mgon Zhang-gi Bka'-'bum-gyis Kar-chag.  It contains 4 folios.  At the end, this dkar-chag it says that in the 4 volumes of the Bka'-'bum are a total of315 works (chos tshan).  It places the Bka'-rgya-ma in an additional fifth volume ca (without listing the contents).  It says that volume 1 (ka) contains 70 works, vol. 2 (kha) contains 14 works, vol. 3 (ga) 75, and vol. 4 (nga) 58, and this yields a total of 217, not 315, works.  This dkar-chag corresponds quite closely in its contents to the four dkar-chags accompanying the volumes described in Part 8, above.

Gsang-pa'i Rnam-thar Bka'-rgya-ma'i Dkar-chag Gsal-ba'i Me-long zhes bya-ba bzhugs-so // Zhang Rin-po-che'i'o.  This would be complete in 8 folios, except that folio 2 is missing.

This work ought to concern the contents of a particular manuscript version of the Bka'-'bum in the possession of the Palace of National Minorities in Beijing, which is supposed to be repatriated to Lhasa in the future.  The texts in Parts 9 and 10 are rather strictly transcribed (except that missing ligatures in abbreviations are supplied in square brackets; angled brackets <> are used to enclose the 'footnotes' or mchan of the text, and anusvāra is changed to the appropriate nasal letter; some formatting changes have been introduced as well as numbers added [in square brackets] for greater ease of reference).

Part Ten: 

The Tables of Contents (dkar-chag) of the Bka'-rgya-ma from Tibet Library, Lhasa.

The title is:  Gsang-pa'i Rnam-thar Bka'-rgya-ma'i Dkar-chag Gsal-ba'i Me-long zhes bya-ba bzhugs-so // Zhang Rin-po-che'i'o.  This work would be complete in 8 folios, except that folio 2 is missing.

See Part 9, for a some description of this work and its location.  The final part of this text is not properly a dkar-chag, but rather a description of how lamas of the 'presentday' introduce the practice of the Bka'-rgya-ma to their disciples.  The 'key-letters' (transcribed here in small capitals) will introduce an obscure algebra to most readers, but when the specific text to which this dkar-chag belongs will become available, they will make much better sense.  This 'algebra' is explained somewhat on fol. 7r, line 6 ff.  An author's name is supplied in the colophon (fol. 8v, line 3) in the Sanskritic form Kirti-puṇya-dhwa-dza (Kīrti-puṇya-dhvaja), which should correspond to the Tibetan name Grags-pa-bsod-nams-rgyal-mtshan.  To judge from the lineage prayer (fols. 7v, line 1 through 8v, line 1), the author should have lived in approximately the early 15th century (or at least several generations before Gter-bdag-gling-pa and the Great Fifth Dalai Lama).

Part Eleven: 

An Incomplete Set of the Collected Works from Dolpo.

This part contains a listing of titles from an incomplete set of the Collected Works from Dolpo (Dol-po) in northwestern Nepal.  The list is based on photocopies in the possession of E. Gene Smith, which he kindly loaned to me.  Due to its fragmentary nature, we have only given the available titles; the colophons are not transcribed here.  The original manuscript volumes are no longer available; apparently they have been placed inside a chorten for their consecratory power.  There are quite a number of missing pages.  E. Gene Smith says that he had photocopies of four partial volumes, but only two partial volumes were made available to me, volumes 1 (KA) and 4 (NGA).  The photocopies of the other two volumes may reappear in the future, after E. Gene Smith has finished relocating his library.

This is a cursive manuscript, and will be very difficult for inexperienced students.  To give an example, on fol. 106r.6 is a line of verse which, precisely transcribed, reads as:  de 4n gshye pa thaṃd kyi thugs 2 su ṇa pa'i yees la dbang sgyur cing, which has to be read:  de-bzhin-gshegs-pa thams-cad-kyi thugs gnyis-su med-pa'i ye-shes-la dbang sgyur-cing.  'Wielding mastery over the nondual Total Knowledge that is the heart of all Tathāgatas'.   All abbreviations have been tacitly resolved in the following list.

Volume 1 (ka)

Missing folios:  1-20, 29, 66, 83, 98-99, 134-138, 156, 168-169, 174, 185-187, 200-201, 246, 248, 271-273, 275-276, 315.  The final folios seem to be present, but their margins whichshould have contained the folio numbers, are missing.

Addendum

Here are listed a few works that are available in other reprinted collections, as well as a listing of Bka'-'bums that were not used in the making of this catalog because they are not available, or cataloged elsewhere.

Here is a list of Bka'-'bums that have so far not been used here, all except for the first not available to me:

—         Dpal tshal pa bka' brgyud kyi bstan pa'i mnga' bdag zhang g.yu brag pa brtson 'grus grags pa'i gsung 'bum rin po che: The Collected Works of Zhang Brtson-'grus-grags-pa (1123-1193), ed. by Khenpo Shedup Tenzin and Lama Thinley Namgyal, Shree Gautam Buddha Vihar (Kathmandu 2004), in dpe-cha format in 9 volumes, 6446 pages total.  TBRC has made it available in digital (PDF) format.  A detailed outline of its contents has appeared in the dissertation of Carl Yamamoto, Vision and Violence: Lama Zhang and the Dialectics of Political Authority and Religious Charisma in Twelfth-Century Central Tibet, Department of Religious Studies, University of Virginia (May 2009), pp. 352-417.

—         Pho brang po ta la do dam khru'u rig dngos zhib 'jug khang, Pho brang po ta lar tshags pa'i bka' brgyud pa'i gsung 'bum dkar chag, Bod ljongs mi dmangs dpe skrun khang (Lhasa 2007)., pp. 88-95, lists titles from a 4-volume manuscript of his works kept in the Potala collection.  The volume 4 contains the Bka' rgya ma collection.

—         The following recent publication seems to contain his complete Bka'-'bum:  'Bri-gung Bka'-brgyud Chos-mdzod Chen-mo, in 151 volumes (Lhasa 2004).  Although I have never seen the physical volumes, TBRC has a complete table of contents.

—         Following is  a description of a set of works I haven't been able to identify yet, apart from the published source of the details given here, which is:  Per Sørensen & Sonam Dolma, Rare Texts from Tibet: Seven Sources for the Ecclesiastic History of Medieval Tibet, Lumbini International Research Institute (Lumbini 2007).  Actually, I believe this is identical the Bka'-'bum as published in the just-listed collection, the 'Bri-gung Bka'-brgyud Chos-mdzod Chen-mo.

KA {RU] volume in 311 folios (626 pages).  Sørensen, Rare Texts from Tibet, p. 391.  Gung thang bla ma g.yu grags pa'i gsung 'bum ka pa.

CA {HU} volume in 300 folios (600 pages).  Sørensen, Rare Texts from Tibet, p. 402.

One further work of Zhang Rin-po-che, the Phyag-rgya Chen-po Sgom-ma-mo Chen-mo'i Sngon-'gro Dngos-gzhi Zhang Rin-po-che Zhes 'Gran-gyi Do Med De'i Man-ngag [cf. DL 184.2; Part 2: V.19:  Sgom-ma-mo Chen-mo 'Da'-kha 'Chi Brad-kyi Gdams-ngag], is found immediately following the text of the Lam Mchog Mthar-thug in Kong-sprul, ed., Gdams-ngag Mdzod, Lama Ngodrup and Sherab Drimey (Paro 1979), vol. 8, pp. 463-484.  This text is evidently a compilation of Zhang Rin-po-che's oral precepts by one Lha-ri-ba Nam-mkha'-'od, a direct disciple of Zhang Rin-po-che and the founder of Lha-ri Monastery.

Two texts by Zhang are preserved in a collection entitled:  Bya-rog-ma Srung-bcas-kyi Chos-skor "Collected tantras and related texts concerned with the propitiation of Mahākāla and his retinue arranged according to the traditions transmitted by Phag-mo-gru-pa," Khams-sprul Don-brgyud-nyi-ma, Sungrab Nyamso Gyunphel Parkhang (Tashijong 1978), vol. 3, pp. 57-77:  Zhang Rin-po-che'i Gong-khug-ma Dbon Dar-ma-gzhon-nu-la Gdams-pa;  and pp. 79-104:  Zhang-gi Gdan-sa-pas Mdzad-pa'i Zin-bris.

One otherwise unidentified brief work by Zhang is in Rtsib-ri Par-ma, vol. 9, pp. 73-74.  It has the title Tshogs-bsdus.

Several of Zhang's disciples were in various ways involved with the territory of the Tanguts (Xixia) to the northeast of the Tibetan plateau.  For works by or associated with Zhang G.yu-brag-pa in Tangut language, see Ruth Dunnell, Translating History from Tangut Buddhist Texts, Asia Major, vol. 22, no. 1 (2009), pp. 41-78, at p. 71, note 93.

One text by Zhang is to be found under the 'cover title' 'Brug-chen III 'Jam-dbyangs-chos-kyi-grags-pa (1478-1523), Bde-mchog Snyan-rgyud-kyi Yig-cha, "reproduced from an incomplete manuscript set of the collection from the library of Hemis Monastery in Ladakh," Chopal Lama, Kargyud Sungrab Nyamso Khang (Darjeeling 1985), pp. 253-304.  It bears the title Bla-ma Zhang 'Gro-ba'i Mgon-po'i Rtogs-tshad-kyi Gsung-bsgros, and has the key-letter ca on the title page (which might suggest its place within a larger collection).  Although not indicated in the title, this is none other than his most famous work on Mahāmudrā, the Lam-mchog Mthar-thug.  Appended to it is an untitled work elsewhere known to have the title Gnas-brtan Sgom-chen-la Gdams-pa Nya-ga 'Gag 'Dus.  It is cataloged as follows:

A Bka'-rgya-ma manuscript from the collection of E.Gene Smith

The manuscript described here was photographed from a very small dpe-cha-style manuscript in the possession of E.Gene Smith.  It is a bit smaller than 3 by 5 inches in size, and written in very tiny letters (with mchan-notes in even much tinier letters).  These miniature manuscripts are most likely to have been used by itinerate yogis and retreatants.  It was necessary to work from an enlarged photocopy.  This catalog preserves the original order of the texts.

Manuscript of Lama Zhang Tsondru Dragpa's Secret Teaching in a Skull Cup (Kapala) Tibet, Late 15th century Book: flat back leather binding and paper, 3 1/2" x 4 1/2" Skull cup: human bone and silver, 5" in diameter. Loaned by Mr. Gene Smith (promised to the Tibetan Buddhist Resource Center, New York, NY). This fifteenth-century manuscript copy of a collection of religious practice instructions by Lama Zhang Tsondru Dragpa (1123-1193) is small in size so that it fits the skull cup that serves as its holder.

Note:  I found this on the internet at: http://library.shu.edu/gallery/sacred-exhibition.htm

1)  Dkar-rgya-ma'i Loṭ-rgyud-s.ho [i.e., Bka'-rgya-ma'i Lo-rgyus Bzhugs-so]  Contains 4 folios, marked "ka", "kha", "ga" and "rtsa yan chod-do".  The text actually seems to come to an end at the end of "ga" verso, and if "rtsa yan chod-do" indeed belongs to this text, there is some amount of missing text.  The verso of the last folio ("rtsa yan chod-do") seems to have an recto page inscribed on it, which was subsequently obliterated (probably just resulting from the glueing together of pages; a kind of palimpsest).

Part Fourteen:

Lha-btsun Manuscript Reprint:

A modern reprint of a 19th-Century manuscript of the four-volume Bka'-'bum together with a one-volume Bka'-rgya-ma.

This modern reprint of a 19th-century manuscript has 5 volumes, comprised of the four-volume Bka'-'bum followed by the one-volume Bka'-rgya-ma.  The printing was done somewhere in Eastern Tibet, and purchased for me at a monastery in Beijing.  This is the first ever official publication of a modern reprint edition of the complete works of Zhang Rin-po-che.

From a several-times repeated colophon detailing the patronage and scribing of this set (see the ends of volumes 1 and 4, where the colophon occurs in its longest versions), it is clear that the original manuscript on which this reprint was based was 'erected' by two Dge-lugs-pa monks resident in Lha-sa: Lha-btsun Mchog-sprul Blo-bzang-'jam-dpal-rab-rgyas[2] and Rje-btsun Grags-pa-mkhas-grub.[3]  The scribes included one Tshe-brtan-rnam-rgyal.[4]  The author of the patronage colophon was Ser-stod Mkhan-ming Blo-bzang-'phrin-las-rnam-rgyal.[5]  This collection represents itself as closely adhering to the list of texts given in the Gsan-yig of the Fifth Dalai Lama, with nothing added (although this evidently only applies to the Bka'-'bum, since the order of Bka'-rgya-ma texts seems more problematic, and there are in fact additional texts appended to it).  The lineages for the transmission of the reading authorization (lung), supplied at the ends of the dkar-chags to the individual volumes, also show that what is represented here is a Dge-lugs-pa transmission descending from the Fifth Dalai Lama.  The specific lineage for the Bka'-rgya-ma ends with the first patron, Lha-btsun Sprul-sku Blo-bzang-'jam-dpal-rab-rgyas, passing on the transmission to the second patron, Grags-pa-mkhas-grub.  This was not simply a 'reading authorization', but included initiation, blessings and practical procedures (lag-len).  And it was sponsored and published with the blessings of some of the leading lights of the Dge-lugs-pa establishment at Lha-sa.  The quality of the reprint edition may be described as acceptable, but still the paper is of the 'brown bag' variety often used nowadays for Tibetan books in the PRC, and the printing is often indistinct, with unsure readings in places.

One of the most remarkable new texts supplied in this publication is the previously unavailable biography of Zhang written by Tshal-pa Si-tu Dge-ba'i-blo-gros.  Contained in vol. 5 (i.e., the Bka'-rgya-ma volume), pp. 532-575, it is entitled 'Gro-mgon Rin-po-che'i Rnam-thar Bsdus-pa Dgos-'dod Re-bskong-ma'i 'Grel-pa and composed in 1353 CE. As suggested in the title, it was written in the form of a commentary to Zhang's 'autobiographical' work the Dgos-'dod Re-skong-ma, which is considered to be the 'abbreviated' among the 3 main biographical accounts of Zhang Rinpoche.  I have a price list from the "Buddhism Institute" in which the "Xangyu Brapai Sungbum" (Zhang G.yu-brag-pa'i Gsung-'bum) is offered for the price of 24 US dollars.

Also included, as an appendix at the end of vol. 3 (GA), pp. 543-727, is an edition of the famous history entitled Deb-ther Dmar-po.

There is a rather half-hearted attempt to catalog Zhang's works in SBTD, vol. 3, pp. 94-104.  According to this, the library possessed a five-volume manuscript set of Zhang's works, but only the first two volumes of the Bka'-'bum (vols KA and KHA) have title listings, and these correspond precisely to the contents of the presently described publication.  The next volume described is a manuscript volume of the Bka'-rgya-ma (its relationship to the present publication still needs to be determined).  The final volume describing a distinct manuscript is more interesting, since it includes listings for a collection of the songs (gsung mgur) of Bla-ma Zhang, in 44 fols.; two works on retreat, a Ri-chos Yon-tan Kun-'byung in 133 fols. and Ri-chos Cha-lag, in 66 fols.  The works on retreat are certainly not by Zhang, but rather they are the wellknown retreat manuals of Yang-dgon-pa.  The collection of songs is the interesting one here, since it is possible it could contain unique materials, if it were only available.

Note:  The last several lines constitute an extremely brief biography of Sgom-chung.  It says that the name his mother gave him was Rog-chung, while his complete ordination name was Shākya'i Dge-slong Shes-rab-byang-chub.  This is all the information it contains!  Here we find a general author's colophon for the main group of Bka'-brgyud lineage biographies starting with Tilopa.  In a sense, nos. 26 through 31 may be considered as a single title.

Part 15: 

A List of Titles in a Four-Volume Set of the Bka'-'bum (including some Bka'-rgya-ma texts) found in the Record of Teachings Received (Thob-yig) of the First Zhabs-drung Gsung-sprul  Phyogs-las-rnam-rgyal (1708-1736).

Source:  Zab-rgyas Chos-kyi Thob-yig Dbyangs-can Mgrin-rgyan, "The record of teachings received by the First Zhabs-drung Gsung-sprul of Bhutan, Phyogs-las-rnam-rgyal (1708-1736), Reproduced from the illustrated manuscript preserved at the Dar-dkar Bkra-shis-g.yang-rdzong Temple in Bhutan," Kunzang Tobgyel (Thimphu 1984), pp. 215-226 [keyletter gā].

An interesting feature of this list is that it seems to correspond very largely in its content with the published volume of the Bka' 'Thor-bu.  Note in this connection the presence in it of the Byang-chub-sems Sgom Don-drug-pa, the basic biographical texts of the Bka'-rgya-ma, and the Re-po-skyid-ma.

[1]The key-letters in this paragraph each have a set of 3  circles (in triangular array) above them. 

[2]Following is the line of incarnations of the Lha-btsun Sprul-sku of Se-ra Monastery, from the list of recognized reincarnations made in the early 19th century (see Martin, Tibetan Histories, no. 588):

se ra gzhung pa lha btsun sprul sku [zhol 'og].

1. thar pa'i rgyal mtshan.  b. in Nyang brag sna kha pa.  d. age 47.

2. blo bzang don grub.  b. in Na kha can pa.  d. age 55.

3. skal bzang rab rgyas.  b. in 'Brom stod.  d. age 61. [337]

4. blo bzang bstan pa rab rgyas.  b. in Dga' ldan zhol lte ba mkhar pa.  d. age 13.

5. blo bzang 'jam dpal rab rgyas.  b. in Lha ldan.  "Now" age 36.  d. Fire Ox (i.e. 1817, or less likely 1877).  "Now" rebirth not found.

[3]There are several biographical sources on this person (see Grags-can Mkhas-grub, p. 1785), which say that he was born in about the mid-18th century, and was a disciple in his youth of 'Jog-ri (b. 1748; author of the dkar-chag to Mtshal Gung-thang Monastery).  He is listed first among the patrons in 'Jog-ri's Mtshal Gung-thang dkar-chag itself.  He was also known as Grags-pa-mtha'-yas (vol. 4, p. 4r.5 of the volume's dkar-chag also gives him the name 'ex-abbot of Se-ra Smad' Thub-bstan-legs-bshad).  He wrote two histories (see Martin, Tibetan Histories, nos. 361 and 363, composed in 1811 and 1814 respectively).  One of his teachers was Stong-'khor VI Ngag-dbang-'jam-dbyangs-bstan-'dzin-rgya-mtsho (1753-1798; he stayed in Lha-sa area only during the period from 1763 to 1787).  There are good reasons for the association between Se-ra Monastery and Tshal Gung-thang, since Se-ra's founder Byams-chen Chos-rje was born next to Tshal Gung-thang (see Zongtse, History of Sera Monastery of Tibet [1418-1959], p. 23).

[4]It is just possible that this might be the father of Pha-bong-kha-pa (born in western part of Lha-sa in 1878, died 1941), who is called Shod-drung Tshe-brtan-rnam-rgyal (see Gangs-can Mkhas-grub, p. 1048).  The title Shod-drung here probably means 'undersecretary', as in the phrase Bka'-shag Shod-drung, used to described members of the secretarial section subordinate to the ruling Kashag in the Lhasa government.

[5]He is certainly the person whose biography is told in Grags-can Mi-sna, pp. 912-913 and Gangs-can Mkhas-grub, pp. 404-405.  He flourished between the years 1840 and 1860, when as well as being abbot of the Upper College of Se-ra Monastery he served as 'tutor' (mtshan-zhabs) of the 10th and 11th Dalai Lamas.  Four volumes of his collected works, including biographies of Tsong-kha-pa (composed in 1843), Khri-chen Bstan-pa-rab-rgyas (composed in 1818), the 10th Dalai Lama and others as well as works on the Abhidharmakosa, have been preserved; see SBKC, pp. 732-734.  He also had a hand in composing the 1830 census report (see Martin, Tibetan Histories, no. 374).  He died in 1862, according to the chronology at the end of the Three Volume dictionary.
