IOL Tib J 573
Tibetan manuscript from Dunhuang, no title and 2 more items
Contents
Language(s): Tibetan
1.Incipit: 1r.1@//phyogs bcu'i sangs rgyas thams cad la //ritual manual
Prayers to accompany the preliminary arrangements of the shrine and offerings at the beginning of a teaching or ritual. The three short items in this manuscript comprise a standard three part ritual sequence. See, for example,IOL Tib J 419, the opening sections of which describe someMahāyogaritual practices that would accompany prayers such as the ones seen in the present manuscript. There is nothing in the present manuscript, however, that indicates it was associated withMahāyoga. Rather,IOL Tib J 419seems to represent a transformation of the same ritual structures into aMahāyogacontext, and in this regard the two manuscripts offer illuminating comparisons.
