Reting Paintings

Note: This file extracts lists of paintings that were kept at Reting Monastery from a guidebook to that same monastery by one Lhun grub chos 'phel (although he post-dates 1400 CE, he is citing a still earlier guidebook, as detailed just below). This will prove useful for finding references to early Bka' gdams pa art, understanding words typically used in thangka inscriptions and so forth.

This source material is further sourced from the earlier Rwa sgreng dkar chag text by 'Brom Shes rab me lce as recently published in the Dpal brtsegs Publishing House's History Set,* vol. 11, pp. 233-296, at pp. 282.2-288.5. The text is in a somewhat difficult cursive script.

(*Dpal brtsegs Bod yig Dpe rnying Zhib 'jug Khang, ed., Bod kyi Lo rgyus Rnam thar Phyogs bsgrigs, Mtsho sngon Mi rigs Dpe skrun khang [Xining 2010-2011].)

It has now been transcribed and annotated in Maho Iuchi, An Early Text on the History of Rwa sgreng Monastery: The Rgyal ba'i dben gnas rwa sgreng gi bshad pa nyi ma'i 'od zer of 'Brom Shes rab me lce, Harvard University Press (Cambridge 2016), at pp. 124-132. The author is given as 'Brom Shes rab me lce, who has not been well identified, and there is a small problem with determining the date of composition. Here is the relevant entry from Prop Names:

SHES RAB ME LCE — Author of a dkar chag, acc. to Lhun grub chos 'phel, Rwa sgreng Dgon pa'i Dkar chag (Chengdu 1994), p. 90. This has now been published in HS XI 233-296, where the author is called 'Brom Shes rab me lce, with the date of composition being a Wood Pig year 242 years after the founding of the monastery (I suppose this places its composition in around 1300). The colophon title given here, on p. 295, is Rgyal ba'i Dben gnas Rwa sgreng gi Bshad pa Nyi ma'i 'Od zer. It was composed at the behest of Dge 'dun dbang phyug and others.

*One named Bo dong Lo tsā ba Shes rab me lce is mentioned in DTK5 116. I'm not sure, but this may be the author, despite the different clan name.
