Rong-ston’s Bon Chos Shan-’byed

Rong-ston, Bon Chos-kyi Bstan-pa Shan-'byed

This is a work of considerable historical interest, as it was written by Rong-ston Shes-bya-kun-rig — 1367‑1449, a famous Sakya teacher from the era of Tsongkhapa — who in his youth was a follower of Bon. Some may well want to doubt his authorship of this strongly toned polemic, but at least be aware that there are other works of his preserved in Bon tradition, and he was no doubt a very intelligent and capable young person. They should also recall the story of Saul and Paul if they have problems thinking opponents can become proponents. We study polemics in order to understand the historical role they had to play in the past and to find our own ways of overcoming intersectarian agitation in the present. Nobody has the right to react in anger.

A. Main text is that contained in the volume Ngag-dbang-chos-grags, Gsung-ngag Lam-'bras Snyan Gsum, pp. 511-541. TBRC Work RID W10302.

B. Interlinear text in italics is based on my own photocopy of a set of photos given to me a few decades ago by H.Hoffmann. It is in cursive script, has many abbreviated words (for the most part abbreviated words are given in full here, since they could be resolved without doubt from the readings in the other text), with four Chinese characters (a number, perhaps as kind of library "call number") and the Tibetan 'volume marker' {PA} on the title page. There are nine to eleven lines on each side of the leaf. The leaves are numbered (with Tibetan numerals) from 1 to 8. The text comes to an end on folio 8 recto.

C. A modern computer-typeset version of this text has now been published. For details, see TBRC Work RID W8LS16816. I haven't made any use of this at all.

A listing of the title may be found in G.yung-drung-tshul-khrims, Rgyal ba'i bka' dang bka' rten rmad 'byung dgos 'dod yid bzhin gter gyi bang mdzod la dkar chags blo'i tha ram bkrol byed 'phrul gyi lde mig (Chengtu 1995), p. 1061: “Rang ston Shes bya kun mkhyen gyi mdzad pas / Bon chos rnam dbye snang gsal rig pa'i me long.” Note that the Rig pa'i me long part of the title, while absent in our two texts, is present in other manuscripts (see the note).

Note: Other versions of the text exist. See for example Z. Bjerken, “Hall of Mirrors: Tibetan Religious Histories as Mimetic Narratives,” Acta Orientalia, vol. 64 (2003), pp. 177-223, at p. 222, which lists a manuscript copy: "Rong ston Shes bya kun mkhyen, Bon chos rnam 'byed snang gsal rig pa'i me long, Photocopy of manuscript copy from Dolanji: Bonpo Monastic Centre." (This also appears in his 2001 dissertation.) Since the title differs significantly, this must represent a different manuscript. I've also seen a work cited at some length as Rong-ston Shes-bya-kun-mkhyen, Bon chos rnam 'byed snang gsal rig pa'i me long (supposedly a woodblock print, or shing par), in the following article: Nor-bu-tshe-ring, Bon-gyi ’Byung-gnas ’Ol-mo-lung-ring-las ’Phros-te Zhang-zhung Srid-pa’i Chags-rabs Smra-bas Bod-la Shan-zhugs Tshul Skor Gleng-ba, contained in: Khri Bsod-bstan, ed., Bon-dpyad Spyi-rgya Rlabs-gcod, Kan-su’i Mi-rigs Dpe-skrun-khang (Lanzhou 2015), pp. 53-80, at p. 67, note 1 (the longer citation goes from p. 66 to 67). To judge from the long citation, it doesn't seem to be quoting from the work before us, although I'm not entirely sure of it.

POSTSCRIPT (August 2019): On the basis of newly emerging materials, we may now say with considerable confidence that there were two Bon defenses/polemics composed by Rong-ston Shes-bya-kun-rig while he was in Rgyal-rong (in present times in Sichuan province), evidently in his late teens before moving to Central Tibet: [1] The first work, in verse, is the one you see below. It ought to have "shan 'byed" in its title. [2] The second work, in prose and in the style of a kind of philosophical history or siddhânta text, may have the title Bon chos rnam 'byed snang gsal rig pa'i me long. I don't believe this siddhânta (grub-mtha') work has ever been properly published, and moreover, it doesn't seem to exist in TBRC database.
