[lha klu chen po rnams spyan drang ba] and 7 more items

Language(s): Tibetan

Author:

Title: [lha klu chen po rnams spyan drang ba]

Title: [rgyud gsum pa]

Incipit: Vf.1r.1...rgyal chen lha dang klu/

prayers

The LVP catalogue applied two shelfmarks to this manuscript--316 and 525.525applies to most, but not all, of the recto (Rf.4r-Rf.29v), while316applies to the rest of the manuscript. Today these two parts are found together under the single British Library shelfmark IOL Tib J 316.

This prayer (incomplete at the beginning) invites the mundane protectors of the teachings, beginning withBrahmaand continuing with many other non-Buddhist deities. The prayer often appears at the beginning of a collection of prayers, as is the case here. An additional four line verse of exhortation to listen to the recitations that follow is appended in this version. A detailed commentary on the prayer is found atIOL Tib J 711.

Incipit: Rf.4r.1@/_/phyogs bcu'I sangs rgyas thams cad la phyag 'tshal lo/

prayers

This text begins as a series of homages to the buddhas of the ten directions, similar toIOL Tib J 320. There follows (18r.3) an exhortation to perform various kinds of worship and offering to these buddhas, and to make paintings (ri mo) of them. Then immediately after this is a prayer in which the supplicant is to insert his or her own name (Rf.18v.1 bdag myIng 'dI zhes). The prayer is directed against the three bad rebirths (as animal, hell-being or hungry ghost). The end of the prayer is missing due to a lacuna betweenRf.21vandRf.22r.
